The Charles H. Revson Fellowship advances civic leadership in New York City by engaging mid-career urban leaders in an intensive nine-month course of study, research, and reflection at Columbia University. Learn more.

Each year, the program selects a cohort of ten Revson Fellows, individuals who have made significant contributions to the city and who reflect its diversity. Learn more.

Revson Fellows receive tuition, financial support, academic guidance, and access to Columbia University resources.

Fellows pursue individually designed programs of study and participate in weekly Revson seminars designed to enhance their understanding of the complex challenges facing New York City.

Established in 1979, the Revson Fellowship has welcomed over 300 leaders to Columbia University. Many alumni work in New York City and remain active within the Revson community.
"Taking full advantage of Columbia’s resources, my self-study plan included coursework on race and ethnic inequality, urban education, social movements, early childhood development, and modern dance history. The discipline of reading, writing, discussing, researching, and reflecting each week upon these diverse but interrelated areas made for an extraordinary year."
