Fellowships are merit-based awards that offer financial support for undergraduate or postgraduate study and research. There are a wide range of fellowships. In these pages we describe some of the most common opportunities our students pursue, but these lists are not comprehensive, so we encourage students to search beyond these pages.
To begin your search, explore our Interactive Fellowship Database!
Search FellowshipsThis tool allows you to filter dozens of opportunities to find the ones that are right for you. Narrow your results by your academic level, area of interest (STEM, Public Service), student identity, and more.
We also encourage you to join the SCU Fellowships Network on LinkedIn, to connect with other SCU applicants and alumni.
