We are excited to announce that the application for the Bancroft Research Scholars Program for Fall 2026 is now open! The deadline to apply is August 15, 2026.
The Bancroft Research Scholars Program aims to provide GS students with the opportunity and funding to participate in undergraduate research during the regular school year. This program enhances your academic experience, fosters intellectual curiosity and critical thinking, and prepares you for graduate studies or a career in research.
The Bancroft Research Scholars Program will select a limited number of GS students who collaborate with a Columbia faculty member on a research project during the academic year (Fall or Spring only). Applicants are responsible for identifying and obtaining the support of a Columbia faculty mentor prior to submitting their application. Each selected scholar will receive $2,200 in funding for one semester to support work on a research project and to cover research-related expenses, such as supplies, materials, and travel costs.
