By Adrian Mandeville on August 24, 2023

Please submit your application through Handshake and include a copy of your resume, cover letter, unofficial transcript, course schedule, a work sample, and the completed short answer questions.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Creative Career Design Fellowship is a semester long program for graduate level students in arts degree programs at NYU. The cohort will meet for seven sessions in the fall for workshops covering topics including: pitching, raising money, personal finance, building relationships, and more. In addition, each participant will receive two career coaching sessions with the program facilitator. The fellowship will culminate in an industry event for select members of the cohort in December.

WHY YOU NEED THIS

Creative careers don’t come with a blueprint. There is no clear path to success and no rulebook to follow to ensure financial security.
However, the Creative Career Design Fellowship can help make you better prepared to manage the uncertainty that comes with a creative career.
Over the course of the semester, students will learn the essentials of telling their story, differentiating themselves as artists, building industry relationships, pitching their ideas, and raising money.

WHAT’S REQUIRED

FULL COMMITMENT – Attendance to all sessions and events is mandatory.
COMMUNITY MINDED ATTITUDE – Positive attitude and a commitment to the support and growth of other members of the cohort.
VIABLE CREATIVE PROJECTS – All fellows must have a creative project that they are actively working to execute over the course of the academic year.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN

TAILORED ATTENTION – CCDF is a fellowship that provides tailored support that addresses the expressed, unique needs of NYU’s future creative professionals.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTION – Students will be empowered to build a strong network of support within NYU and industry relationships outside of NYU.
KEY SKILLS – Pitching, raising money, personal finance, building relationships.
