National Scholarships and Fellowships

Be loud and proud in your application for nationally competitive scholarships!

Developing the resume for national scholarships and fellowships is an act of courage, persistence, and love and the coordinator of Academic Support and Fellowship Opportunities is here to support students in that journey.

Why Apply for National Scholarships?

While the University of North Dakota and other entities offer grants, loans, and other financial aid to assist students in covering their basic educational costs, national scholarships and fellowships offer funding for high-impact experiences beyond the classroom. These competitive awards support opportunities such as undergraduate research, language study abroad, federal internships, graduate study at top programs, and professional networking—helping students build valuable skills and knowledge.

National scholarships provide high-performing students exceptional opportunities to experience learning and academic training at the highest levels. For example, the Truman Scholarship gives its scholars up to $30,000 for graduate study in public-service fields, plus access to a 10-week summer internship in Washington. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers scholarships for students to study, conduct research and/or teach English for a full academic year abroad.
