You might wonder, what’s the difference between scholarships and fellowships? Scholarships are generally funds for students attending educational institutions for the purpose of the study; they can be awarded based on financial need, grades, community service, major, class level, city or county of residence, and more. Fellowships are generally funds for students (or non-students) for the purpose of professional or career development; they can support a variety of things, including study in a specific field, research to advance work on a particular issue, development of a new community-based organization or initiative, training to support a fellow’s growth, opportunities to further explore a particular field of work, and more.
