Summer Fellowship Program

The Columbus Foundation's new and exciting Summer Fellowship Program links college students and nonprofit organizations. The Fellowship program seeks to create mutually beneficial work relationships and stimulate interest in the nonprofit sector. Ten nonprofit organizations will receive a grant to provide a stipend for the student Fellow. Students will gain first-hand knowledge of the local nonprofit community, while area nonprofits will be able to increase capacity to conduct important short-term projects. During the ten-week period, students will have an opportunity to share their experiences.
