The Opportunities Fund access period will be from September 6-23.
No applications will be accepted after September 23.
Macaulay Honors College will use an online Opportunities Fund application. You will still need to meet with us virtually to review all your Opportunities Fund materials prior to applying online.
There are two ways an activity can be funded:
1. Reimbursement: Internship or research activities, taking place during Spring, Summer, or Fall 2022.
2. Advance: Internship, research or study abroad/away activities, taking place during Winter or Spring 2023.
Important Updates:
*Students traveling abroad may need to complete additional documentation outlined in CUNY’s guidelines and on the Macaulay Opportunities Fund webpage.
All Applicants:
* All students interested in applying for the opportunities fund will need to attend a mandatory meeting on Wednesday, September 7 at 12:15 PM on Zoom.
* No applications will be accepted from students who did not attend this meeting. If this is a problem, please let Ms. Tanzman or Dr. Weinstein know before the meeting.
