Announcing the Miller Human Rights Award

Wednesday, March 2, 2022

The Institute for the Study of Human Rights is pleased to announce the Miller Human Rights Award, a new funding opportunity for undergraduate students who seek to deepen their experience in human rights abroad. The Miller Award will provide a stipend of $5,000 to two eligible undergraduate students per application cycle. 

Selected students will engage in an opportunity abroad that will enhance their human rights education or professional experience. This could entail an internship, volunteer work, or study abroad. Applicants with placements globally are eligible to apply, with a preference given to students pursuing opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa. 
This award is made possible through the generous support of Steve Miller, Chief Financial Officer of Warby Parker and Columbia College alum. 
To apply, please submit this application, a copy of your CV/Resume, and all supporting documentation as one Word document attachment to uhrp@columbia.edu. Deadline to apply extended to Monday, May 16th, for placements during summer or fall 2022.
