Fellowship Communication Program

The Fellowship Communication Program provides advice and instruction for all undergraduate and graduate students as they consider pursuing graduate school, national graduate fellowships, external prestigious undergraduate or graduate scholarships, and other awards.

General information is available from workshops and on the Fellowship Communication Program Web and T-Square sites. Students may schedule individual appointments to receive specialized advice and information about how to write effective essays for graduate fellowship and prestigious scholarship applications, how to manage the application process, and how to prepare for prestigious scholarship interviews. Early in their academic career, students are encouraged to visit the Fellowship Communication Program Web site, attend Fellowship workshops, schedule an appointment with a Fellowship adviser to learn about applications appropriate to their field and goals, and learn more about graduate fellowship and prestigious scholarship opportunities by going to the Web sites of organizations and foundations offering funding.

Georgia Tech students compete for a variety of external fellowships and prestigious scholarships offered by government agencies, private foundations, or corporate entities (such as the National Science Foundation, NASA, the Hertz Foundation, the Ford Foundation, AT&T Labs), and prestigious scholarships for undergraduate or graduate study (such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Churchill, Gates-Cambridge, Mitchell, Fulbright, Truman, Udall, Goldwater).
