Fellowships
Compete for a national fellowship!
Fellowships are short term, nationally competitive, and funded opportunities. Applying for fellowships can be challenging and rewarding on its own, but winning one can be the opportunity of a lifetime.
Fellowships can enable you to do all kinds of things, including teaching in a foreign country, conducting cutting edge research, studying abroad, or paying for education. As a Cal State East Bay student, you are well equipped to compete for these awards due to your academic accomplishments, leadership experiences, and future goals.
