How the Office of Fellowships Can Help You
The Office of Fellowships advises and supports students applying for national funding. They work with undergraduates, seniors, and alumni to expertly craft competitive applications for national awards, including the Marshall Scholarship, the Gates-Cambridge Scholarship, the Rhodes Scholarship, the Truman Scholarship, and the Fulbright Scholarship, to name a few.
Over the past few years, our Honors students have established an incredible record of receiving these awards.
St. Edward's also offers its own fellowships to undergraduates—the Summer Academic Excellence Awards—in order to help fund research and travel and better prepare them for national fellowship competitions. Students eligible for the Summer Academic Excellence Award are required to have a 3.7 GPA. Honors students are strongly encouraged to apply.
In addition to these awards, St. Edward's offers the Student Conference Fund, which allocates funding for student travel expenses to academic conferences. This fund has allowed numerous Honors students to present their research across the country.
Other resources you should consider are the Science Summer Research Opportunities and the Graduate Fellowships and Scholarships.
