About Fellowships

Fellowships are funded opportunities offered by organizations to help students further their education, acquire skills, and broaden their horizons both personally and professionally. Whatever your ambition, there’s a chance that you can find a fellowship to sponsor it. Our database contains opportunities for students on every path, from bioengineering to Renaissance history, from Chinese culture to studio art, from human rights advocacy to entrepreneurship.

Learn More

  • Take the time to learn all you can about the fellowship universe

  • Visit websites of the individual awards, and see the kinds of students who have won them in the past

  • Go over the How to Apply page to get a sense of the strategy involved in winning an award

  • Come to a GS Fellowship Information Session in the fall or spring terms

  • Make an appointment with the GS Fellowships Office for one-on-one fellowship counseling

In recent years, GS students have collected an extraordinary series of wins in the top fellowship competitions at both the national and international levels. Their success underscores the unique strengths of the GS student body as a whole: intellectual maturity, depth of practical experience, dedication to social justice, and a commitment to overcoming obstacles on the way to achieving personal goals.
