Scholarships & Fellowships

What are Prestigious Scholarships and Fellowships?

Prestigious Scholarships or Fellowships are highly competitive monetary awards granted to limited numbers of highly qualified candidates.

What are the criteria?

These types of awards are based on a variety of criteria, such as overall academic achievement, outstanding achievement in the academic major, participation in community service, leadership initiatives, demonstrated financial need or a combination of these and other criteria specific to each award. In general, candidates applying for prestigious scholarships or fellowships should be students who excel academically and who demonstrate leadership and commitment to the CNU community and the community at large. Students of all majors should consider prestigious scholarships or fellowships, as there are many which are discipline-specific, while others are more wide-ranging in scope.

Additional information can be found in "A Guide to Prestigious Scholarships, Fellowships and Awards" and the Center for Career and Academic Planning.
