DREAM Fellowship at Starr Career Development Center Spring 2026 

The DREAM Fellowship at Baruch College is designed to support immigrant students by providing them with career-based or community-based learning opportunities. These experiences allow students to explore academic and career interests through internships, volunteer work, research, or community projects with organizations across New York City. Fellows who participate will gain real-world experience, develop professional skills, and build professional networks. 

The fellowship supports students facing work authorization challenges by providing meaningful professional experiences. Priority consideration will be given to students who are undocumented, DACA recipients, or in the process of adjusting their legal status. International students are not eligible for this fellowship. 

Student Stipend 

Students selected for the fellowship are expected to complete 150 hours over the Spring 2026 semester at their host organization. The students and organization will work together to create a mutually agreeable schedule.

To support the payment process, the supervisor will be asked to submit a letter confirming the completion of hours. Students must also have a valid ITIN or SSN number to process payment.
