National Fellowships

OFFICE OF NATIONAL FELLOWSHIPS

Welcome to the Office of National Fellowships (ONF)! We are dedicated to supporting exceptional students as they apply for external awards, typically funded by government agencies and private foundations. The awards support a wide range of activities, including international exchange, research, post-graduate degrees and language study, among others. Our mission is to guide and assist students on their journey towards achieving these awards.

Refer a student for Fellowship Opportunities

Faculty can refer students to ONF staff in a range of situations: perhaps your student is demonstrating research excellence a STEM discipline or they are seeking funding to attend your study abroad program. Whatever the situation, fellowship programs expect students to be engaged in things beyond their classrooms, including leadership opportunities, significant community engagement and service, academic pursuits, and/or undergraduate research. When you refer a student to ONF, we invite them to attend a 1:1 advising session to explore which fellowships will help advance their academic and professional goals. Refer a student today!

Request a Presentation

ONF staff provide presentations to classes, units, committees, organizations, and programs of all kinds at UD. We are happy to provide an introduction to fellowships, covering the benefits of such opportunities and their application processes. Request a presentation
