What are Fellowships? Fellowships are funding! They are competitive, merit-based monetary awards that support a wide range of activities. These include: research, internships, projects and study abroad. Check out the Fellowships and Funding Office and then book a one-on-one with a Fellowships adviser and start forming applications for fellowships you're interested in. To explore options, visit Searching for fellowships, Upcoming events, Recorded webinars and information sessions, and Planning toolkits.
To help track and plan your fellowships and awards, use our 1stGenYale Pathfinder tool and guide.
Although fellowship deadlines are early, one does not need to have a position secured to apply for fellowships. Apply for both the positions and fellowships, then match them up later.
The Office of Career Strategy offers the Summer Experience Award which provides a stipend for either a domestic ($4000) or international ($6000) opportunity to Yale College first-years, sophomores, and juniors on Yale financial aid.
