Center for Global Affairs Graduate Scholarship

Dear fellow CGA Alumni,

Over the past few years, we have received requests for more direct ways to give back to the Center for Global Affairs and to support its students.

Today we are delighted to announce a new crowdfunding campaign to establish the Center for Global Affairs Graduate Scholarship Fund!

The fund shall be endowed and will provide need and merit based tuition support to graduate students at the NYU School of Professional Studies' Center for Global Affairs.

Our very own Dr. Vera Jelinek, Divisional Dean and Clinical Associate Professor at CGA, has generously kicked off the campaign with a $10,000 donation on NYU One Day.

Over the last decade since its inception, the Center has grown in its offerings and its reach-now with over 1,400 alums- and has proven to be one of the most exciting and dynamic global programs on the NYU landscape, a program where the latest global trends and critical issues are examined by individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities who come together to explore how to make our world a better and more just place.

We are calling on all alumni to support the fund with a donation today by clicking below. Please join us in helping to shape the future of CGA. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

The Center for Global Affairs Alumni Board

Help NYU Rising Violets raise $100,000 for the project: Center for Global Affairs Graduate Scholarship. Your gift will make a difference!
