Post-Graduation Fellowships
What is a Fellowship? Traditionally, fellowships are paid positions given to Graduate Students and PhD candidates in their field of study. Increasingly, however, fellowships are being developed for recent college graduates with a 4 year degree in the arts, public policy, education, and other non-profit fields. These opportunities are similar to full-time internship experiences for undergraduates. They are short term opportunities, usually lasting 6 months to 1 year. They focus on professional development and leadership within the field and are often sponsored by a particular organization seeking to expand leadership in their field.
The Department of Career Development, as well as faculty in the Fellowship and Scholarship Office, offers guidance to students throughout the application process.
This page will have information on available fellowships as we learn of them. This is NOT an all inclusive list and should not replace your own research.
