IGP Students

IGP Student Engagement

Training the next generation of global leaders is a core part of IGP’s mission.

The IGP Student Scholars Program helps prepare Columbia students to understand and find solutions to today's global challenges. This group is selected from hundreds of applications from students across Columbia's undergraduate schools, Law School, and School of International and Public Affairs. IGP Student Scholars benefit from engagement with our Faculty Advisory Board, Distinguished Fellows, and expert guests, along with priority access to events and other unique opportunities to gain hands-on experience and insight.

Information on past IGP Student Scholars:
2023–24 (Inaugural) Scholars | 2024–25 Scholars | 2025–26 Scholars

In addition to the Scholars Program, IGP is pleased to facilitate the IGP Student Circle, a group of approximately 100 students from across the University who were among the most competitive applicants to the Scholars Program and for whom IGP offers select opportunities for priority access to guests and programs.
