Fellowships are short-term opportunities (3 months to 2 years) that focus on professional development. They are sponsored by organizations seeking to expand leadership in their field.

Different fellowships call for different qualities, but all want to see that you are committed to a cause and are driven to improve yourself professionally in order to have an impact. Fellowships connect you to a network of high-impact professionals and many offer generous compensation.

Our fellowship advisors recommend you explore fellowships early in your college career. We are available to help you find a good-fit fellowship. We support students and alumni through the rigorous application process, providing institutional letters of endorsement where required.
