Competitive Fellowships at Íæż½ã½ã’s supports students and alumni in navigating and applying for nationally competitive fellowships and scholarships. Our team provides cohort-based advising and one-on-one mentoring for students applying to prestigious fellowships including, but not limited to, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, Marshall Scholarship, and Truman Scholarship.

Through fellowships advising, students are supported in the entire application process from identifying a fellowship opportunity, reflecting on their passions and their future goals, and crafting a compelling written application. Our team also provides interview preparation for those students who are selected to interview.

Together, we believe that the process of applying to a competitive fellowship is as important, if not more important, than the receipt of a fellowship for the rich opportunity it affords each student to learn more about themselves and to explore the multitude of possible futures after graduation.
