Six New Fellowships Available To Students


What is a fellowship?
A fellowship is a monetary award (scholarships), connected to working in a specific field. Selected students complete extra training in a field or have funding to continue research without having to devote time to working outside their field, or to resorting to additional loans for support. The duration of a fellowship can be one year or longer, depending on the opportunity. Since fellowships often involve working in your area of study, garnering one can kickstart a career and make an impressive addition to a resume. Working with professionals, receiving mentoring and making connections in your chosen field and geographical location often leads to job offers and better career opportunities in the future.
