Next Steps in Your Fellowships Journey

Are you an undergraduate looking for...

Awards for experiential learning overseas?

Awards for 1-2 years of undergrad education?

Awards for graduate school tuition?

Then an external scholarship or fellowship may be for you! External scholarships and fellowships are prestigious and nationally competitive merit-based funding opportunities. Typically, you apply for these awards a year in advance, so it’s important to start planning early, and the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Office of Student Fellowships and Awards (OSFA) can help!

If you are seeking information on need-based financial aid (i.e. grants and loans that require submission of a FAFSA), please visit the Financial Aid Office.

Graduate students interested in awards other than the Fulbright Student Program and the NSF GRFP, which are managed by the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ OSFA, please click here.

STEP 1: FIND YOUR FIT

Think about what kind of funding you want

Apply as...

   To pay for...
Junior
  • Overseas experiential learning opportunities prior to graduation (such as study abroad programs, mentored research, foreign language study, etc.) 
  • Funding for graduate study
Senior
  • Overseas experiential learning following graduation
  • Funding for graduate study

Think about  "FIT" as you review opportunities. Does the award fit your needs? Do you fit the mission of the award?

Think about:

  • Does the funder support the work I do?
  • Am I eligible in terms of citizenship, discipline, career stage, etc.?
  • Can I complete the application requirements by the deadline?
  • Will the funding cover what I need, when I need it?
