A legacy of successful applicants
Each year, Ursinus College students apply for and receive a number of prestigious, nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships. These fellowships may provide funding for portions of undergraduate study, for graduate study, or even for travel and/or independent research not tied to a degree program.
There are many types of fellowships and scholarships available for students, but identifying them isn’t always easy. We can help you find the awards that fit your skills, knowledge and interests. We can also help you put together an application that will stand out to the government agencies, foundations and organizations that fund these awards.
