Fellowships

Fellowships offer students opportunities for advanced study, teaching, professional experience, and travel. Externally funded by foundations or government agencies, fellowships provide resources such as tuition, research, housing, living allowance, and travel expenses. Applying for a fellowship is similar to applying to graduate school, and includes proposals, personal statements, and letters of recommendation.

The process of seeking fellowships is a valuable journey. Fellowships meetings can help you think about your goals, values, and unique leadership abilities. At Trinity, we see fellowships advising as an iterative and imaginative process that can take place at any time during a student or young alumni’s educational and career journey.
