Find Fellowships
On this page, you’ll find a list of selected fellowships, with links to detailed profiles that outline the terms, eligibility criteria, and desired qualifications for each program. Generally, these are awards where NFP plays an official role in the application process (nomination, endorsement, submission) and/or where we have a specific advising process or specific resources.
For a much more extensive list of fellowship, scholarship, and grant opportunities, please see our Additional Awards page, where you can browse brief profiles of more than one hundred awards, or download this spreadsheet version of our longer awards list and sort or filter by key criteria.
