Awards for STEM Students
There are just as many – if not more – fellowships for STEM students. This session will explore some of them, as well as general fellowships that many STEM students exclude from consideration but shouldn’t!
UK Awards (Ex. Churchill, Ertegun, Gates, Marshall, Mitchell, & Rhodes)
A number of excellent graduate school opportunities in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Come learn what they are, what it takes, and how the University of Virginia can support you. Interested but not sure if you are qualified, come find out for sure. Thirds years are strongly encouraged to come and start early.
Truman Scholarship Information Session
Are you a dynamic leader? An activist dedicated to positive change? Committed to public service? You should consider the Truman Scholarship, which provides $30,000 toward graduate school and access to a network of incredible leaders. Come even if you aren’t sure about the graduate school part. Apply as a third year.
Introductory Workshop
Don’t know what fellowships are? Wondering what the point of pursuing any of them might be? Unsure of how you could be competitive? Come enjoy a chance to envision yourself as an applicant for these incredible opportunities. This workshop is most appropriate for first and second years or older students who have yet to be exposed to the Office of Citizen Scholar Development.
Asia Awards (Ex. Luce, Schwarzman, & Yenching Academy)
These fellowships offer fully-funded experiences in Asia for study or job placement. Come learn what they are, what it takes, and how the University of Virginia can support you. Interested but not sure if you are qualified, come find out for sure.
Fulbright Information Session
A year abroad to research, study, make art, or teach English. This is specifically geared toward third year, graduate students, or alumni, who are eager and ready to get to work on applications for the fall. The session will cover information on the Fulbright US Student Award and dive into strategies for getting started.
