Fellowships & Scholarships
Fellowships and scholarships give students the opportunity to travel, study, research, or teach both nationally and abroad. They provide financial support, as well as prestige that will help students complete their studies and successfully launch into their careers.
NMU's Fellowship and Scholarship Committee (FSC) helps students across our campus to locate, apply for, and secure nationally competitive fellowships and scholarships. This new committee supported Fulbright applicants in the past year, but is extending its support to other programs (see below).
If you are interested in a fellowship or national scholarship, or if you just want to explore possibilities, email Enrico at esassi@nmu.edu.
