Reynolds Foundation Fellowships in Social Entrepreneurship
New York University is delighted to announce an exciting new opportunity for students interested in social entrepreneurship. Each year, the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation Program in Social Entrepreneurship will offer 10 undergraduate scholarships and 20 graduate fellowships to a highly selective group of individuals with the vision and passion to take new approaches to broad social problems. Open to students from throughout NYU's 14 schools, the program will provide the very best in training, curricular and co-curricular activities.
