From Fulbright grants to Watson Fellowships and more, Colgate students and alumni have been awarded many of the most competitive national and international fellowships and scholarships.

 

The 2018–19 academic year has been an exceptionally busy one for students, alums, and faculty working with the Office of National Fellowships & Scholarships (ONFS).

As of March, 89 individual students and alumni have submitted 130 different applications (with more still to come). This smashes the previous record of 79 applications, set in 2001–2002. The ONFS staff appreciates the time and effort that goes into the submission of a top-notch application and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with each and every applicant.

Be watching for upcoming announcements about this year's fellowship and scholarship recipients.
