Fellowships, Scholarships & Other Financial Awards for Undergraduates
Fellowships, scholarships, and other financial awards are important
options to explore as you begin to consider your post-St. Lawrence plans.
There are many sources of aid for further study both in the U.S. and abroad.
Some support further study at institutions, while others facilitate independent
study and projects. The purpose of this website is to inform you of some of
the numerous opportunities available, and to highlight briefly their application
procedures.
The Scholarship, Fellowship and Grants Committee and Career
Services & Leadership Education supports applications to two types of
awards: Direct Apply Awards and Nomination/Endorsement
Awards.
-
Students apply directly to foundations and institutions
for the Direct Apply Awards. The Fellowship Files, located in the Career
Services & Leadership Education office, contains information about the
Direct Apply Awards.
-
The Scholarship, Fellowship & Grants Committee at St.
Lawrence University provides student support for approximately 10 fellowships.
Many of these fellowships require the endorsement or nomination of the committee
in order to apply for the fellowship. Each of the SLU sponsored fellowships
has a faculty member who can assist students with the application process.
Once an application is complete and submitted to the faculty contact, the
entire committee will then select nominees for the nomination/endorsement
awards only.
Once you decide which opportunities you wish to pursue, visit
the Career Services & Leadership Education office to obtain information
and application materials, then set up an appointment with your academic advisor
to discuss your interest further. The application process for most of these
awards is long and laborious, and it is critical to begin planning and applying
early. Make an appointment today with a counselor at Career Services & Leadership
Education or your academic advisor to begin the process.
SLU
Fellows – Application deadline is March 3, 2003. Students in the
St. Lawrence University Fellows Program work closely with a faculty member
for 8-10 weeks during the summer months to conduct a research project or other
activity that promotes intellectual inquiry and growth. The SLU Fellows Program
aims to assist students in undertaking new initiatives that require special
financial support and encourages interdisciplinary lines of inquiry, as well
as those within traditional disciplines.
Tanner
Fellowship – Application deadline is March 3, 2003. The Tanner Fellowship
was created by the friends and family of Tanner Cornwell to honor the memory
of Tanner whose short but extraordinary life touched many people. This award
is intended to encourage students to enlarge their capacities to make a positive
and creative mark on the world by enabling them to design and pursue educational
experiences not otherwise available to them. Fellowship activities may be
carried out during the summer months, January break or an academic semester,
but must be completed by March of the year following the award of the fellowship.
