Funded by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship offers grants of up to $5,000 to US students who receive Pell Grants to participate in a credit-bearing study-abroad program or internship. The scholarship aims to diversify the kinds of students who study and intern abroad and the countries where they go by supporting US undergraduates who might otherwise not consider these unique and valuable opportunities due to financial constraints. First-, second-, and third-year students who are US citizens are eligible to apply.

This award does not require nomination facilitated by the Office of Fellowships, but it does require that both a financial aid adviser and a study abroad adviser certify your application. All of the advisers are already in Gilman's online database, where you can select them from a drop-down menu. Choose your study abroad adviser based upon your destination.

What if I want to pursue study abroad on a noncredit basis?

You are still eligible to apply for Gilman even if you will not seek to transfer the credit back to Northwestern upon completion of your program; however, note that you cannot petition retroactively for credit for study abroad undertaken while at Northwestern. All students who wish to earn credit for coursework completed outside the United States must apply through the Northwestern Study Abroad Application by the appropriate deadline. Please contact Jessica Fetridge (jessica.fetridge@northwestern.edu) if you are interested in this option.

This fellowship, in support of dissertation research in regional science, is awarded annually in memory of Dr. Benjamin H. Stevens, an intellectual leader whose selfless devotion to graduate students as teacher, advisor, mentor, and friend had a profound impact on the field.

A requirement of the fellowship is that the recipient has no duties other than dissertation research during the fellowship, although the recipient may hold other fellowships concurrently. Applications from students working in any area or any PhD program are welcome as long as their dissertation research addresses a research question in regional science. The fellowship consists of a stipend in the amount of $30,000, paid over a twelve-month period.

Students who are interested in basic research in the fields of biology, computer science, data science and scientific computing, mathematics, physics, neuroscience, chemistry and materials, and interdisciplinary areas are encouraged to apply.

These $27,500 fellowships support individuals whose dissertations show potential for bringing fresh and constructive perspectives to the history, theory, analysis, or practice of formal or informal education anywhere in the world.

The lack of racial diversity within conservation and clean energy fields is a persistent problem that is becoming increasingly recognized. Recognizing that diversity is a value important to the conservation and clean energy sectors and that we have not always made the progress we strive to make, we seek to work together to help rectify this shortcoming by striving for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in conservation and clean energy. Not only is it intrinsically incumbent upon our sector to change practices that contribute to the lack of people of color, but addressing this problem will also make our work more relevant, accessible, and successful. To this end, the Roger Arliner Young (RAY) Diversity Fellowship focuses on increasing opportunities for people of color to learn about, engage with, and enter the conservation and clean energy NGO sectors. Graduating seniors and applicants who completed their undergraduate degree the prior year who come from a racial/ethnic background underrepresented in conservation and clean energy and who are eligible to work in the United States are eligible to apply.

To be eligible for a Junior Fellowship, a candidate must be at an early stage of his or her scholarly career. Men and women interested in any field of study are accepted. Most Junior Fellows receive the PhD just prior to the start of the fellowship. If still pursuing the PhD, Junior Fellows should be at the dissertation stage and prepared to finish their degrees within a year of becoming fellows. If already a recipient of the degree, they should not be much more than a year past the PhD at the time the fellowship commences. Junior Fellows are selected for their resourcefulness, initiative, and intellectual curiosity, and because their work holds exceptional promise. They are free to devote their entire time to productive scholarship. They may undertake sustained projects of research or other original work, or they may devote their time to the acquisition of accessory disciplines, so as to prepare themselves for the investigation of problems lying between conventional fields. Because of this complete freedom of choice and action, it is important that candidates should have demonstrated their capacity for independent work. Applicants are nominated, typically by their dissertation advisor.
