Office of Prestigious Fellowships and Awards
The Office of Fellowships is now the Office of Prestigious Fellowships and Awards, expertly guiding and advising students as they pursue fellowships and awards.
Harness The Power Of Your Major
Earning a degree from Seattle University opens many doors. Winning a fellowship opens even more. If you decide to pursue a fellowship, it is our honor to guide you through every step of this process. And while the fellowship is the ultimate prize, it is the journey to that prize that will provide great benefit to you. Building your writing skills, practicing your interview skills and deepening your understanding of yourself and your goals are attributes that will bolster your academic and professional paths.
The Office of Fellowships is now the Office of Prestigious Fellowships and Awards. This name change highlights the competitive opportunities students pursue in applying for fellowships and celebrates their impressive achievements.
While we understand that the word prestigious has historical connotations of gatekeeping, we believe it best celebrates the status of these awards and the achievements we believe all our students can realize through passion and dedication. It is our job to ensure that fellowship and award opportunities are open to all. We are dedicated to continually evaluating the accessibility and inclusivity of the programs we work with and promote to best serve our entire student body.

A fellowship is a remarkable opportunity that could change the course of your academic career – and your life. It's a prestigious award granted to students like you, providing support for your studies, research endeavors, or professional growth. A fellowship is a valuable resource that offers financial assistance, mentorship, and access to unique opportunities. Whether it's funding for your graduate studies or support for a research project, academic fellowships open doors to exciting possibilities.
When you hear 'scholarship' and 'fellowship,' you might think they're the same, but they're not. Fellowships typically involve an internship or service commitment spanning one or more years, while scholarships are often one-time awards without any such obligations.
Winning a fellowship is your gateway to exceptional opportunities. With a fellowship, you gain more than just financial support—you gain access to invaluable resources, mentorship, and experiences that can propel your academic and professional journey forward.
It's a chance to pursue your passions, deepen your expertise, and make meaningful contributions to your field. Don't miss out on this transformative opportunity.
