Nationally Competitive Fellowships
Washington College supports undergraduate students and alumni applying for nationally competitive, merit-based fellowships and scholarships. We also provide guidance to faculty and staff who wish to nominate and support applicants. To learn about need-based financial financial support, please visit the Financial Aid Office.
Please note that Washington College’s campus deadlines are often at least a month in advance of the final fellowship/scholarship deadline, so interested applicants should reach out well in advance.
