All Fellowships

A Fellowship provides funding for a specific project or work focus. In higher education, fellowship programs typically provide funding in the form of stipends for a graduate student or faculty member pursuing specific research. The fellowship may last six months, a year, or more. Fellowships also grant funding to individuals or organizations outside of education. These fellowships may fund professional development or the completion of a community project. In most cases, fellowship funds are used to allow people to dedicate time and resources to a specific pursuit that they might not otherwise be able to so that they might complete the project or research and gain valuable experience applicable to their work.

Citizens & Scholars identifies and supports promising individuals through its Fellowship Programs. By providing dedicated time and resources to Fellows, Citizens & Scholars is ensuring Fellows are able to complete their work and bring their individual perspectives to their fields. Fellowship programs often serve as an accelerator to the Fellow’s career and they go on to contribute greatly to their fields of study and to society as a whole. By supporting a range of individuals across sectors and areas of focus, C&S is supporting the entire system that supports the development of productively engaged citizens.
