The Office of Fellowships serves all students and alumni of GVSU, including all majors or areas of study. Many awards we support specifically target underrepresented students in higher education. We welcome alumni and work frequently 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.
‘Fellowships’ is shorthand for opportunities that include selective internships in DC and elsewhere, summer institutes in the United Kingdom, research experiences in Germany, international volunteer service, funding for graduate study at Oxford, Cambridge, or other universities in the UK, as well as in Ireland, Australia, Scandinavia, in STEM programs and State Department pathways programs in the U.S., and more.
