Fellowships and Grants
Unlock Your True Potential
The Fellowships and Grants team provides support to students and alumni in their search for national grants, fellowships and scholarships. Through these awards, students can foster self-reflection and expand their understanding of different issues, ideas, and values. Our goal is to help them develop critical thinking skills so they can become valuable members of the community.
In the last 15 years, 500+ Whitman students have earned prestigious fellowships and grants, including:
I went to an information session, talked to Fellowships and Grants about it and I took home a Watson Fellowship pamphlet and pinned it to my corkboard for the next four years. I knew it was something I wanted to strive for, but I never thought it was going to happen, to be honest.
