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.
