Event Description
Many competitive fellowships provide funding towards graduate study, but they also require a lot of planning ahead. This info session will cover major categories of fellowships available for master's and doctoral degrees. We will highlight specific awards commonly of interest to Drexel students and alumni, as well as share resources to find out more and develop a strong application. This session is especially recommended for current first year PhD students, current seniors or alumni planning to start doctoral programs in the fall, and juniors, seniors and alumni planning to apply to graduate programs in the upcoming cycle, for studies beginning in 2025.
Please note that the only awards discussed at this session that are open to students in or applying to law or medical programs will be awards tied to specific graduate institutions (eg, Stanford and McGill) or to specific student populations, such as veterans or first generation Americans. It may still be worthwhile for these students to attend, but the majority of awards discussed are not applicable to JD, MD, or similar degrees. Students investigating funding for medical school or law school should work with Drexel's pre-med and pre-law advisors to discuss further how these degrees are typically funded. |
