Berkley Innovation Labs at the NYU Stern School of Business, is one of the largest and most innovative accelerator programs and startup competitions in the world. It is an 8-month program involving more than 750 students, alumni, faculty and researchers from 16 schools across NYU’s global campuses, all of whom compete for a total of $300,000 in cash prizes and pro bono startup services.

Wasserman Center Internship Grant

The Wasserman Center Internship Grant was established to provide financial assistance to students pursuing non-paying internships within not-for-profits, the arts, education, public service and other industries that do not traditionally pay their interns. The Wasserman Center is able to offer approximately 150 $1,000 grants during the fall, spring, and summer terms. This number is subject to change based on available funds. Applications are reviewed by the Wasserman Center Internship Grant Committee and representatives from various NYU academic departments.

YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund (YMA-FSF)

Founded in 1937, the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund is a national non-profit association made up of influential members of the fashion community, dedicated to promoting education of the fashion arts and business by granting scholarships to talented students and facilitating internships, mentorships, and career programs. YMA-FSF's goal is to advance the fashion industry by encouraging gifted and enterprising young people to pursue careers in design, merchandising, retailing, and business so the industry will continue to attract dedicated, capable, and creative individuals.

This is not an NYU-run scholarship fund, but Gallatin students are eligible to compete for a $5,000 award, which also presents winners with the opportunity to be mentored by and work with industry professionals. Scholarship awards are based entirely on merit, and take into account the applicant’s GPA and the completion of a case study project. Students can complete the case study through the lens of design, marketing, analytics or supply chain.
