Honors College Fellowships: Welcome

An Honors College Student Fellowship is a $1,500 grant given to a Commonwealth Honors student for pre-approved scholarly engagement that is overseen and guided by a mentor. Each fellowship must have a reading component, a writing component, and a speaking component. The student is expected to invest about 100 hours of focused effort. A single fellowship can be spread across twelve consecutive months, but cannot exceed. 

Please note: Students can only receive one (1) Honors College Student Fellowship.

The $1,500 grant is applied to a student's financial account. Typically, half of the award ($750) is disbursed at the start of the fellowship, with the second ($750) disbursed when the student satisfactorily completes the Final Presentation (15 minutes).

How to apply:

1. Faculty mentor and student have already found each other: fill out the Faculty Mentor and Student Fellowship Application together 
2. Faculty mentor has a project but needs help finding a qualified student: fill out the Faculty Fellowship Idea Application.  Honors students will be notified about the opportunity.
3. Student wants a Fellowship, but needs help finding a faculty mentor: fill out the Student without a Faculty Mentor Fellowship Idea Application and the Fellowship team will help to identify a faculty mentor with an appropriate project

Submit applications and any questions to Julian_Zabalbeascoa@uml.edu
