Visiting Scholars, Fellowships & Grants

Columbia's Jorge Paulo Lemann Fund was established in 2009 to promote student exchange between Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) and Brazil. The Jorge Paulo Lemann Fund fosterings educational exchange between Columbia University and Brazil. The Lemann Fund provides support to Brazilian students who wish to study at SIPA, and for students with a deep interest in the overall advancement of Brazil, through their past, present, and future educational and professional experience. It also supports the research interests of SIPA’s faculty and students.
In 2013, Columbia's Lemann Fellowship program expanded with the creation of the Lemann Foundation Interschool Fellowship, to provide financial aid to master's degree candidates at other Columbia master's programs including the Mailman School of Public Health, the Graduate School of Journalism, the School of Social Work, the Graduate School of Architecture, Preservation, and Planning (GSAPP), and Teachers College who have demonstrated a strong commitment to social change in Brazil and its future.
