The Cowen Institute is now accepting applications for Cowen Scholars for the next academic school year.

Applications are due by midnight on April 9, 2012. Interviews will take place on April 12, 2012. Applicants will be informed of a decision on April 13, 2012.

We plan to select at least six Scholars for the 2012-13 school year. Four Scholars will work on-site with partner high schools, and one Scholar will work with partner middle schools. An additional student will work on an evaluation project for the Cowen Institute’s Program.

The stipend for Cowen Scholars in the 2012-13 year will be $7500 per semester. Scholars are expected to work a minimum of 20 weeks on their assigned projects.
