Office of Academic and International Fellowships
Competitive international and national fellowships can be an incredible way to enhance your knowledge in your area of study, while also giving you a competitive edge on any graduate programs you may apply to in the future. Fellowships are available to support research, study at a foreign university, teach English, or take part in an internship abroad. Fellowships can be for graduate and/or undergraduate students, and vary by location, length, and field of study.
Discovery Scholars
The Discovery Scholars Program honors students who excel in the classroom while demonstrating the ability to create exceptional new scholarship or artistic works. Like sailors on an unexplored sea, Discovery Scholars blaze new paths, rather than simply following the course charted by others.
Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Science Research Opportunities for Undergraduates
The Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences offers undergraduates the opportunity to work with faculty, graduate students and other undergraduate students who share similar academic and career interests. The following opportunities are available:
McNair Scholars
The McNair Scholar Program provides research opportunities and graduate preparation to a select group of first generation/low-income and underrepresented ethnic minority college students. A primary objective of the McNair Program is to provide academically talented students from these backgrounds effective preparation for doctoral study. The ultimate goal of the program is to diversify the American professoriate through placement of McNair alumni in faculty positions.
Medical Preceptorship Program

You can also find opportunities to be involved on-campus and within the local and global community.
