Dinah F. B. Cohen Fellowship

The goal of the Dinah F. B. Cohen Fellowship Program is to provide college students and recent graduates with disabilities with professional skills and leadership opportunities. The fellowship has expanded thanks to the generous support of Macy's & GEICO. 

To honor the life and legacy of Dinah F.B. Cohen, PYD is actively seeking applications from young adults with disabilities who represent multiply-marginalized groups. These groups are adversely affected by the cumulative discrimination against and social exclusion of more than one minority population. 

Application Deadline: March 9th, 2026 at 9pm EST
