Fellowships & Grants: Seniors
The majority of fellowships and grants are to support students who have completed their undergraduate degree. All granting agencies reward students who are on a clear trajectory and can identify why a specific scholarship, fellowship or grant is essential to helping them attain their goals. It is important to think carefully about your career path and the steps you will be taking in order to get to that ultimate goal. As well, those agencies are interested in giving their funds to change agents, people who identify problems and then set about to solve them. Are you that person?
Many grants are for overseas study. Some of the most prestigious awards (Rhodes and Gates) are affiliated with specific universities, though others (Fulbright, Marshall, Mitchell, for instance) allow you more latitude in finding the right place for you to be. In addition, a number of fellowships and grants provide assistance for graduate study in institutions in the United States.
