About

FAU established a Prestigious Fellowships Committee to support all students, on all campuses, in their pursuit of nationally competitive fellowships. The Committee supports all FAU students interested in competing for these opportunities and coordinates the campus nomination process for select fellowships that require FAU's institutional endorsement of candidates. The committee also manages the recruitment and advising of potential candidates and the marketing of fellowship opportunities and deadlines to the FAU community. This is a collaborative effort between the Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (OURI), Wilkes Honors College, and Education Abroad. Committee members are listed below.
