Current
Columbia Global Emerging Scholars Fellowship Program
The Columbia Global Emerging Scholars Fellowship Program provides opportunities for early-career scholars — who hold refugee status or have been forcibly displaced — to enhance their research capabilities, broaden professional networks, and support their reintegration into academia in the humanities and/or humanistic social sciences. Following a successful four-year pilot program in Amman from 2020 to 2023, the Mellon Foundation expanded the program to the Global Centers in Amman, Nairobi and Santiago in 2024, with a generous grant for annual fellowships for the next three years.

In partnership with the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Columbia Global Center Amman ran the Mellon Fellowship Program as a pilot program from 2020-2023 to support emerging displaced scholars working in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. The goal of the program was to create opportunities for scholars to reintegrate into academia and resume their academic pursuits.
