CONNECT NY
Located in the heart of Manhattan, The Graduate Center of The City University of New York (CUNY) has long been a central hub for intellectual and scholarly conversations in New York City. Moreover, it has a long history of fostering and producing scholarly work focused on the city itself, knowledge which draws upon and contributes to the complex communities of New York City and beyond.
In the spirit of this impressive history, in the spring of 2018 the Provost’s office designed a new fellowship program to provide additional support for doctoral students conducting research on any aspect of life in New York City and its environs.
