Fellowship Information Sessions

Each summer and fall, the Fellowships Office of the UIC Graduate College provides regular information sessions for students applying to major national fellowships such as the U.S. Fulbright Student Program and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.

Most major fellowships, including those listed above, have October and November deadlines for funding to begin the following year. Fellowship agencies expect applicants to begin preparing their applications several months in advance of the deadline. Therefore, the Fellowships Office offers information sessions throughout the summer and early fall, then works directly with applicants up until the submission deadline.

You must register online to attend an information session. Each session has twenty seats available on a first-come, first-served basis.

PLEASE NOTE that both fellowships are for U.S. citizens only, permanent residents are eligible for the NSF/GRFP.
