Graduate students are strongly encouraged to seek external funding. As markers of scholarly achievement, fellowships are integral to successful, timely completion of graduate degrees. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Fellowships, which has staff on hand to assist students in their endeavor to secure outside funds.
The Office of Fellowships maintains a Graduate Fellowships Website to serve graduate fellowship seekers and applicants. This site identifies external fellowships that students in each Northwestern graduate department have won in the past—those you may be best positioned to win. There are also listings for diversity-based fellowships, awards available to international students, and links to selected national fellowships databases. The Graduate Fellowships Calendar provides month-by-month deadlines for external award competitions.
The Office of Fellowships also publishes an e-newsletter for seekers of external fellowships (twice per quarter and once in the summer). The Graduate Fellowships Newsletter provides profiles of N.U. students who succeeded in previous award competitions, tips for writing outstanding grant applications, and descriptions of select fellowship opportunities. Archived editions of the GFN are also available on the website.
Please direct questions about external fellowships or the above resources to Stephen Hill at the Office of Fellowships ( s-hill@northwestern.edu).
Mary Pat Doyle ( mdoyle@northwestern.edu) is your contact for internal fellowships and grants administered by The Graduate School, including:
- Presidential Fellowship

- Alumnae Fellowship
