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.
Hyatt’s WEP experience:
“I was worried about doing research at Columbia because I knew that most positions are unpaid. WEP helped me dive deeper into my research and encouraged me to treat this opportunity as a responsibility that will improve my future with lab work.”
