National & International Scholarships and Fellowships (NISF)
Nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships not only bring a financial award, but also prestige that helps you build a distinguished career, permanent membership in a network of outstanding professionals, and life-changing experiences. The NAU Coordinator for National & International Scholarships and Fellowships helps students refine their applications and connect to resources in order to be more competitive on the national/international level.
Starting early in your search for major scholarships and fellowships is crucial:
- identify awards and opportunities of interest early in your academic career
- build a record suited to these awards' criteria
- begin work on applications months in advance of the deadline
- leave plenty of time for feedback and revisions
The NISF website can help you locate opportunities and craft a solid application draft.
