The Work Exemption Program (WEP) is part of Columbia University’s enhanced financial aid program for undergraduate students in Columbia College and Columbia Engineering. Recipients receive a Columbia Grant to support their pursuit of unpaid internships, research projects, and community outreach, locally, nationally, and internationally.
Fatima’s WEP experience:
“WEP is an unmatchable opportunity to explore various avenues of what your future might look like, without the burden of financial hardship. It is a program through which you can be the person you imagine and, if you realize one avenue is not for you, there is nothing you have lost! Only gained!”
