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!
The Gilman Scholarship Program awards up to $5,000 for students to intern or study abroad, and there is up to $3,000 in supplemental funding for students studying a critical need language. Must be eligible for a Pell Grant or the dependent child of an active-duty military member to apply.
Don’t know what fellowships are? Wondering what the point of pursuing any of them might be? 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.
We will equip students with some effective thoughts and approaches to cultivate agency in research & creative pursuits and to seek out opportunities for involvement. This is appropriate for students at all levels and a great place to ask questions. Students do not need to be actively participating in research & creative inquiry to benefit from this session.
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.

The Fulbright US Student Award is a great opportunity for students interested in further study, research, teaching, or creative opportunities after graduation. Join us for a panel discussion with Fulbright recipients at 5:00pm in the Special Collections Library Auditorium.
