Introduction

This web page is designed to help you identify scholarship and fellowship programs appropriate to your professional interests, your level of academic accomplishment, and your status as either an undergraduate or graduate student. These are not programs funded from within the University of Arizona. If that is what you are seeking, you should see the Scholarship Office in Old Main.

The Office of Nationally Competitive Scholarships in the Honors College, headed by Dr. Karna Walter, seeks to assist you in refining your goals and perhaps winning one of these very prestigious awards. This web page is a first step in that process. Use it to get a rough idea about which scholarships you could seek. Follow the links to particular scholarship or foundation websites, go through those websites thoroughly (many have very detailed advice), then come to us to discuss your plans. We will do everything possible to assist you in your quest.

Jill Craven is a senior who will be graduating with a degree in chemical engineering this spring.

She also sees herself pursuing a job in governmental policy to ensure that the positive impact engineering can have on the world will be incorporated into everyday life.
