Fellowships
Fellowships and scholarships provide an exciting opportunity for Wellesley College students and alumnae to explore and deepen their academic, personal and professional interests in the U.S. and abroad. Whether studying a foreign language, pursuing graduate study, teaching English overseas, conducting advanced laboratory research, completing a service project, traveling around the globe or designing and executing a research study, fellowships open doors to new ideas and experiences and challenge recipients as they become resilient, empathetic and creative leaders in the world. Most of all, fellowships serve as an investment in individuals with burning questions and big ideas.

"The Truman Scholarship has so deeply helped me to take a hard look at myself and what kind of public servant I want to be. Although the application process was grueling (particularly the interview), it was an invaluable exercise in stick-to-itiveness, and along the way I've found a group of bright, driven, and hilarious service-oriented friends" - Katelyn Campbell ‘17, 2016 Truman Scholar
