Guiliano Global Fellows: Glacier Saviors, Exoplanets, and More

Since the Edward Guiliano Global Fellowship Program’s inception in 2014, more than 200 New York Tech students have participated in experiential-based learning opportunities across the United States and in countries like Costa Rica, Mongolia, Canada, Eswatini, and more. For the last 10 years, the fellowship has enabled these young scholars to take high-level research trips, linking their academic studies with a broader perspective of the world around them.

The most recent cohort journeyed at least 200 miles from their home or New York Tech campus—staying as “local” as Maryland and trekking as far as India—and were supported with monetary amounts between $750 and $5,000.
