Career Center hosts sessions on competitive student scholarships, fellowships

Do you know a student who may be interested in pursuing a competitive scholarship or fellowship? Are you a student who would like to know more about scholarships such as the Fulbright, Luce, Marshall, Rhodes and others?

The Career Center, which manages advising and support for honors scholarship applicants, will host several information sessions and workshops throughout March and April. Many of the national deadlines for the competitive scholarships and fellowships are in September and October, so students are encouraged to attend these sessions in preparation.
