National Scholarships and Fellowships

Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.
-- George Bernard Shaw

Welcome to the University of Chicago’s central unit dedicated to undergraduates and recent alumni who are applying for major national fellowships!

We provide intensive support to College students as they prepare for nationally competitive fellowships. These prestigious opportunities fund graduate study, research, foreign language acquisition, and much more. 

In the process of applying, our students reflect on their interests, intensify their commitments, begin to envision their future, and learn to build their lives around what they care about.

And we want to partner with you!
