Resources are available for students and, in some cases, faculty and alumni seeking to apply for highly competitive, prestigious merit-based national and international grants and fellowships such as:
- The Fulbright Program “provides grants for individually designed study/research projects or for English Teaching Assistant Programs”.
- Goldwater Scholarships are “one of the oldest and most prestigious national scholarships in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics in the United States, seeks to identify and support college sophomores and juniors who show exceptional promise of becoming this Nation’s next generation of research leaders in these fields”.
- Truman Scholarships are “the premier graduate fellowship in the United States for those pursuing careers as public service leaders”.
- Boren Awards “fund study abroad by U.S. undergraduate students in world regions critical to U.S. interests”.
Students applying for these awards should identify a faculty mentor to help them with their application materials which will then be submitted on behalf of the applicant by Academic Affairs. The Writing Center can also provide support for crafting application materials.
Reach out to Jenn Lodi-Smith, assistant vice president for academic affairs, at lodismij@canisius.edu if you are interested in applying for these or similar programs.
