Why Apply for a Fellowship?

Fellowships provide specialized training, mentorship and access to unique resources.
You’ll engage in hands-on projects, cutting-edge research and collaborate with experts,
resulting in a more comprehensive and impactful learning experience.
Develop skills and network:
Fellowships will advance your professional skills and build a strong network in your
field. Working closely with experienced professionals gives you valuable insights,
exposes you to industry trends and opens doors to future collaborations, internships
and job opportunities.
Earn recognition:
Being selected for a prestigious fellowship is a significant achievement that demonstrates
exceptional talent and potential. It boosts your academic and professional profile,
increasing your chances of securing scholarships, grants and future career advancements.
Gain financial support:
Many fellowships offer financial assistance, covering tuition fees, research expenses,
or even providing a stipend or living allowance. This support eases your financial
burden, allowing you to fully focus on your academic pursuits or professional projects.
Who Should Apply?
External scholarship and fellowship programs are designed to recognize academic excellence, leadership and public service across virtually all majors and disciplines—from STEM to the humanities and fine arts.
Most major undergraduate awards are aimed at current juniors and graduating seniors, though some can be applied for before that.
Consider the award's mission, geographic focus and what kind of experience you are seeking (e.g., research, teaching abroad, policy work, graduate funding).
