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.
