National Fellowships and Scholar Programs

 

Why Apply?

The world of national fellowships isn't just about winning—although USC students win... a lot. Students who engage in the process of applying for a fellowship gain:

• a clearer vision of their future: a sense of their professional interests, strengths and talents, career goals and post-grad options.
• stronger interview skills and application materials for future jobs, graduate school or other awards.
• experience and confidence in presenting and defending ideas in writing and before panels of reviewers.
• individual guidance from faculty and more meaningful relationships with faculty and staff mentors.
• connections to campus and community networks, from getting involved to research activities to being recognized by the university for outstanding efforts and accomplishments.
