Next Steps in Your Fellowships Journey

Are you an undergraduate looking for...

Awards for experiential learning overseas?

Awards for 1-2 years of undergrad education?

Awards for graduate school tuition?

Then an external scholarship or fellowship may be for you! External scholarships and fellowships are prestigious and nationally competitive merit-based funding opportunities. Typically, you apply for these awards a year in advance, so it’s important to start planning early, and the UTEP Office of Student Fellowships and Awards (OSFA) can help!

If you are seeking information on need-based financial aid (i.e. grants and loans that require submission of a FAFSA), please visit the Financial Aid Office.

STEP 1: FIND YOUR FIT

Apply as...	To pay for...
Junior	Overseas experiential learning opportunities prior to graduation (such as study abroad programs, mentored research, foreign language study, etc.) Funding for graduate study

Think about "FIT" as you review opportunities. Does the award fit your needs? Do you fit the mission of the award?

Think about:

Does the funder support the work I do?
Am I eligible in terms of citizenship, discipline, career stage, etc.?
Can I complete the application requirements by the deadline?
Will the funding cover what I need, when I need it?
