Office of Scholar Development and Fellowship Advising
Established in 2022, the Office of Scholar Development and Fellowship Advising supports students and recent graduates from across the university in their development as scholars through pursuit of nationally and internationally competitive awards. External fellowships and scholarships are funding, often with some programming, that can help you pursue a purposeful activity, such as language study, public service, research, study abroad, graduate or professional school.
Find the Right Fit
There are hundreds of nationally and internationally competitive awards out there! Find the competitions that are a good fit for you by considering the following factors:
- Demographic eligibility (citizenship, age, identity factors)
- Academic eligibility (field of study, GPA, graduation timeline)
- How well the goals and priorities of an award align with your own goals and priorities (professional plans, geographic considerations)
- Timeline (deadline, application components, when the award begins)

More than the Award
Applying for an external fellowship has benefits well beyond the award itself. The process of thoughtfully pursuing an award can improve confidence and clarity around your goals and plans for the future, stronger relationships with your mentors, and broader academic and professional networks.
