The Haldun Tashman Fellowship
The Haldun Tashman Fellowship was established in April 2001 to provide financial assistance for admitted Columbia Business School students of Turkish descent. The fellowship is awarded to students who have demonstrated past success in academic, professional or personal endeavors and who show future promise of continued high achievement. Tashman Fellows must exhibit a sincere desire to improve the lives of others. To qualify for this fellowship, students must also demonstrate financial need. Past recipients have displayed evidence of high integrity, drive and leadership skills.
Prospective candidates for this award are initially identified by the Columbia Business School Selection Committee and subsequently reviewed by the donor prior to final selection. The donor reserves the right not to award the fellowship in any given year if no suitable candidate is found.
The award is for U.S.$35,000 toward the cost of tuition for one student for one year, payable directly to the School. The Haldun Tashman Fellowship is renewable for the recipient’s second year of study pending satisfactory completion of the first academic year, fulfillment of the year-end reporting requirement by the student and no proven violations of the University’s code of conduct.
To be considered for the fellowship, prospective students must complete their applications for admission to the full-time MBA Program by the fellowship deadline. Students under consideration for the Tashman Fellowship may be required to submit additional materials to document their financial positions.
