EXTERNAL FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Fellowships enable individuals to pursue study in their fields
or to introduce them to related fields. Although not consistently
defined, some sponsors place their emphasis on contribution to
the individual’s own scholarly development. A fellowship
often advances, synthesizes, or enlarges the applicant’s
special area of interest. Or, it may enable the recipient to
study in a different area which will extend his or her competence.
Fellowships are similar to scholarships that you may have
received as an undergraduate; with the exception that, unlike
undergraduate scholarships, the majority of graduate students
receive fellowship support at various times during their graduate
student career. Fellowships are awards or grants that you do
not have to pay back and are intended to attract highly qualified
students to graduate programs. These fellowships typically provide
payment of College fees, tuition, and/or a stipend for living
expenses.
A number of external agencies, foundations, or other entities
offer external fellowships or grants that are offered to an individual
student by an external organization or agency for study at the
College the student attends. These fellowships are awards or
grants that the student does not have to pay back. Continuing
and entering graduate students at Baruch are strongly encouraged
to individually apply to these fellowship programs. Most external
fellowships or grants are based on academic merit, although there
may be some fellowship awards that are intended for certain people
like children of veterans, people studying in a certain field
of study, students with financial need, etc.
