The Rhoda Lubalin Fellowship is awarded annually to a selected rising senior student within the Cooper Union School of Art who has excelled in the field of graphic design.

Endowed in 1987 by Mrs. Rhoda Lubalin in honor of her husband, Herb Lubalin, the Fellowship is a research-based project that uses the Lubalin Center collection as an entry point. Students are granted a small stipend and special access to the center while they work with the Curator and Archive Coordinator to execute a unique project that will make a lasting commitment to the Herb Lubalin Study Center.
The culmination of their project is presented in an exhibition or public event.
