Office of Prestigious Fellowships
A prestigious fellowship or award is a scholarship that can fund you to do exciting things that will enhance your college experience and more! A fellowship can enrich your college experience with opportunities such as:
Conduct Research in Your Field
Serve Your Community
Study Abroad
Attend Graduate School
Everyone Can Apply
Are you active in an extracurricular club or activity? Are you passionate about creating positive change in your community? You don’t have to be at the top of your class to receive an award. Everyone can apply–undergraduates and graduate students, alumni, academic achievers and enthusiastic learners, dedicated leaders and energetic volunteers.
Eligibility varies by fellowship and there is a wide range of awards available, addressing a variety of subjects that attract a variety of students.
And the process of applying itself is valuable. You will learn how to write about yourself and articulate your plans for the future–skills that will help you apply for internships, jobs and/or graduate school later.
