About the Program
Each year, we select a cohort of Cooperman Fellows among Hunter College students who show outstanding promise as future business leaders. Fellows are chosen for impressive academic achievement and participation in business-related extracurricular activities at Hunter and beyond. They are also selected for their character and commitment to growing the business community at Hunter College. We consider applicants from all majors including Economics, Computer Science, Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, and Statistics, to name a few.
The Cooperman Fellowship helps students develop critical thinking and leadership skills, while preparing them to enter the business world with a running start. In addition to receiving a scholarship and internship support, Fellows gain knowledge of and exposure to business topics through priority access to speakers, industry/career panels, company tours, conferences, and specialized workshops. Fellows also receive guidance on career planning from the Cooperman Business Center staff, and informal mentorship from Cooperman Fellowship alumni.
