ENTIRELY NEW TO FELLOWSHIPS? READ ON!

WHAT IS A FELLOWSHIP?  Fellowships are merit-based awards granted to students or alumni which provide for a variety of opportunities:  research, teaching, travel, professional/academic development, study at the graduate (and sometimes undergraduate) level, and/or entrepreneurial pursuits. They are provided by a wide range of public and private organizations, foundations and institutions. Opportunities range from short-term summer experiences to several years of graduate study. Some focus on specific work or service projects, while others offer tremendous flexibility for the recipient to design his or her own research or study program. The awards are highly sought after, and competition is rigorous. 

WHY CONSIDER A FELLOWSHIP? Post-graduate fellowships offer a wide range of alternatives to directly pursuing employment or graduate school.  Programs vary in structure, format, length, and focus, and many involve academic pursuits.  You may want to explore such alternatives if you are refining your interests, want to build experience, or if you recognize that such a period of specialized research, study or teaching might help you to advance towards your desired professional or career goals.
