Finding Fellowships and Scholarships

Finding competitive grants that match your interests and goals takes time. It's good to start early (up to a year or more in advance).

These resources can help you begin your search. Please also feel free to set up a meeting with The Office of Fellowships and Awards to ask questions and receive further advice.

Fellowships that require Oberlin's endorsement entail additional steps, including internal applications and deadlines. Advanced lead time is essential, so reviewing these programs on Blackboard is a good place to start.
