Fellowships 101 series overview badge

Do you know a student who may be interested in pursuing a fellowship? Are you a student who would like to learn more about fellowship and scholarship programs that can provide financial support for travel, language learning, research and further study?

The Career Center, which manages advising and support for scholarship and fellowship applicants, will host a Fellowships 101 series of workshops throughout the spring semester. Students are invited to join the fellowships team as it leads sessions on topics including choosing the right fellowship for one’s goals, crafting a winning personal statement, and selecting recommenders.
