Fellowships & Scholarships

Nationally competitive fellowships, scholarships and grants are selective awards that provide financial and professional support toward a variety of academic, research, and career opportunities.

These awards may support:

• Graduate school
• Undergraduate research
• Internships
• International study and exchange programs
• Conference travel and professional development
• Completion of your undergraduate education
• Select non-academic projects

Opportunities vary in length and location, ranging from summer programs to multi-year awards in the United States and abroad.

Getting Started

1. Reflect on your academic, professional, and personal interests.
2. Explore and research funding opportunities that support those interests. The more concrete you are about the experience you want, the easier your search will be.
3. Review Things to Consider Before Applying for Fellowships to begin your search.

Winning a major fellowship is a great honor that can open many other doors to new experiences, institutions, and colleagues. Whatever your personal and professional goals, fellowships are worth the time and effort required for their pursuit. Whether or not you receive an award, you will emerge from the fellowship application process with a stronger sense of who you are, and a clearer vision of what you want to do.

• A minimum GPA of 3.4 GPA
