Fellowships Support ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ
The Fellowships office at the Fries Center supports students and alumni in pursuing global and domestic learning opportunities referred to as national fellowships. We help you identify opportunities aligned with your personal and professional goals, and we are committed to making the application process welcoming, transparent, and inclusive. We collaborate with the Resource Center, WesMaSS, the Mellon Mays Program, and the McNair Program to improve access to fellowships for applicants from underrepresented groups and the Office of International Student Affairs to improve our advising for international students. We work with the Writing Workshop to arrange peer writing support for applicants their application essays for competitive fellowships.
