Ellen Schall Experience Fund
Each summer NYU Wagner awards a select group of students $7,500 stipends to take on unpaid, full-time, public service summer internships. This allows students to explore professional opportunities to achieve their career goals, regardless of compensation or financial need. In addition, awardees participate in professional development events throughout the summer.
Conference and Competition Funding
NYU Wagner is committed to developing the skills and networks of our students beyond the classroom and campus setting. To that end, we are pleased to be able to set aside a small pool of Conference and Competition Funding each year to supplement expenses for students to attend select competitions and/or conferences that will further their professional development.
