Do you know a standout undergraduate student — one who is especially inquisitive, engaged, and well prepared for graduate study and/or a leadership career?
The Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships seeks referrals of juniors and graduating seniors who may be interested in applying for awards for research, public service, graduate study, or English teaching abroad.
Popular awards include the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, graduate leadership scholarships (Marshall, Rhodes, Knight-Hennessy Scholars, etc.), and graduate scholarships for the U.S. Foreign Service (Rangel, Pickering, Payne).
UNL students and alumni are frequently successful in application to these awards. Currently, six Husker alumni – Jaela Hardin, Rachael Lange, Francine Mace, Dwight Miller, McKenzie Nelson, and Sadie Ritter – are abroad as 2023-24 Fulbright Students. An additional five alumni – Sarah Altman, Andrea Goertzen, Kasey Moomau, Stephanie Perez, and Cleve Young – are 2023-24 NSF Graduate Research Fellows.
Applicants for these awards participate in advising over the summer. Interested students will be provided access to Canvas advising workspace resources and personalized application materials feedback.
Interested students can attend an upcoming information session. They can also book an advising appointment online for help with developing personalized plans.
Campus community members with questions may contact Courtney Santos, director of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, at courtney.santos@unl.edu.
Graduate students may request feedback on fellowship applications through Consultation Services in the Office of Graduate Studies.
