Graduate/Post-Commencement/Alumni Opportunities
One of the categories of ‘fellowship’ (and the one people tend to think of when they think of ‘fellowships’) is focused upon opportunities students apply for in their junior year (Truman) or senior year (everything else) and then, if awarded, engage in after graduation. Depending upon the opportunity, GVSU alumni are also eligible - do reach out if you are a year or more ‘out’ from graduation and interested in pursuing a Fulbright, Peace Corps, Payne, Rangel, Pickering or other fellowship. We work often with alumni applicants. Many awards seek applicants who have significant gap experiences in leadership and service between commencement and advanced study or other form of fellowship experience. These opportunities can be life-changing! You will see some of these opportunities listed below, linked to the actual funding organization. Note that there are many more opportunities available than are highlighted here.
