We are reaching out to connect with CUNY graduate students who may be interested in applying for the 2025-2026 CUNY Cultural Corps Rockefeller Fellowship.

This fellowship aims to nurture emerging leaders in the arts and culture sector. Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation in memory of David Rockefeller, Sr., the fellowship offers five part-time positions for graduate students from September 2025 to May 2026.

We seek fellows with interest and some academic or professional experience in one of the following areas:

• Development & Fundraising
• Education & Public Programs
• Communications & Marketing
• Curatorial & Exhibitions
• Production Management (Performances & Events)

We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with any students who may be interested. Students who completed our interest form since the last recruitment cycle have already been notified about the current application round.

To be eligible, students must be enrolled in any CUNY graduate program during Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 and have a serious interest in pursuing a career in the arts and culture sector. Cultural Corps alumni are especially encouraged to apply!
