NYU Wagner in USA invites applications for the Henry Hart Rice Urban Studies Fellowship open to incoming Wagner students for 2023/2024 academic year. They are pleased to offer the Rice Family Foundation Fellowship support to incoming Wagner students.
Endowed by the Rice Family Foundation, the Henry Hart Rice Urban Studies Fellowship is awarded to outstanding students in the Master of Urban Planning program who demonstrate a commitment to bringing their scholarship and expertise to bear upon significant urban issues.
