Finding Your Fellowship
From working in California's state capitol to study, research or teaching English abroad, our office is here to help you find the perfect fellowship to pursue your goals. Please verify the deadline dates and times listed below, including the time zones.
The Fellowship Process, Explained
The Office of Fellowships supports students through nationally and internationally competitive study, research, and experiential fellowships that provide enriching academic, cultural engagement and language learning experiences for undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students.
Want to know how to get started?
- Review the list of national and international fellowships available to Pitzer students. Identify the types of fellowships for which you may be qualified based on the experiences they provide as well as your academic, leadership, and service qualifications.
- Each fellowship has a unique deadline and application requirements - some require Pitzer's nomination, others expect direct application to the fellowship program. Use the list below as a quick guide, and to plan ahead with deadlines.
- Most importantly! Schedule an appointment with Dr. Noosha Malek (calendly.com/noosha_malek) to discuss your qualifications and the application requirements. It is helpful to have a resume or CV prepared.
