The WNY Prosperity Fellowship  is currently recruiting for the next academic year (2021-22).  Two information sessions are currently scheduled via Zoom.  We ask that professors share the above information on the flyer with their students.

Students receive significant financial assistance based on need, so they can fully focus on making the most of their internships, educational experiences, and networking and skill building opportunities.
