Fellowships

About Fellowships 

Fellowships provide opportunities for students and graduates to pursue study, travel, research, or public service, both during the summer and after graduation. Fellowships for study usually cover tuition/fees and pay you a stipend to cover room and board. Fellowships for research, travel, or entrepreneurial projects give you a grant to fund the project that you proposed to do; you then use this money to cover your travel and living expenses, and in some cases also other expenses that you budgeted for. Fellowships for public service give you a grant for the summer or pay your salary for a year, so that you can work for an organization without requiring any financial commitment from them.
Students should seek fellowships to pursue specific academic, intellectual, or personal goals. Lowell House students can use this page to learn about available fellowships and to become familiar with application procedures.
