Explore Fellowships
In addition to well-known fellowships, like the Fulbright Student Program, there are many other fellowships available to students from all class years, including graduate students and alumni. Use our fellowship selector tool to discover which fellowships are the right fit for you. Some fellowships require a Rutgers nomination or endorsement meaning you must first apply through the Office of Distinguished Fellowships at Rutgers–New Brunswick. There are also many fellowships that allow you to apply on your own. However, we still encourage all interested students to meet with our experts for support and advice throughout the application process.

The Voyager Scholarship was created by the Obamas and Brian Chesky, Airbnb Co-founder and CEO, to help shape such leaders. Even though they come from different backgrounds, both the President and Brian believe that exposure to new places and experiences generates understanding, empathy, and cooperation which equips the next generation to create meaningful change.
This scholarship gives college students financial aid to alleviate the burden of college debt, meaningful travel experiences to expand their horizons, and a network of mentors and leaders to support them.
