Nationally Competitive Fellowships

Welcome to CC's home for nationally competitive fellowships opportunities for students!

What types of opportunities are there?

• Opportunities for Undergraduates: funding available through CC to CC students as well as nationally competitive awards for study and research beyond CC.
• Short-Term Post-Grad Fellowships: 1-year opportunities to develop academically or personally, or to participate in public service projects in the US and abroad.
• Graduate School Awards: grants and scholarships to fund graduate study in the US and abroad.

Should I apply for one of these opportunities?

YES -- if your interests, timeline, project, and goals are a good fit.

How do you know if you're a good fit for an opportunity? Talk to the award's adviser on campus.

Not sure of your goals beyond CC? No problem- the act of applying for a grant, scholarship, or fellowship can help you clarify your aspirations. As one recent applicant said, her "daily life doesn't particularly lend itself to contemplative reflection, and sitting down to write out where I wish to go with my life and why." Thus she found the application process "an amazing exercise in just that."
