GETTING STARTED WITH

SCHOLARSHIPS & FELLOWSHIPS

Scholarships and fellowships are excellent ways to pay for college tuition and other expenses. You might wonder,

what¡¯s the difference between scholarships and fellowships? Scholarships are generally funds for students

attending educational institutions for the purpose of the study; they can be awarded based on financial need,

grades, community service, major, class level, city or county of residence, and more. Fellowships are generally funds

for students (or non-students) for the purpose of professional or career development; they can support a variety

of things, including study in a specific field, research to advance work on a particular issue, development of a new

community-based organization or initiative, training to support a fellow¡¯s growth, opportunities to further explore a

particular field of work, and more.
