Where Can I Learn More? Resources for Finding Fellowships
Do a key word search "fellowship" while reviewing online job listings. Look closely at internship listings as well. There may be post-BA internships that are essentially fellowships.
Check in with your campus scholarships office. This department may be the point of contact for fellowship programs rather than career services. There also may be special fellowship programs established by an alumnus and available only to
graduates from your institution.
Network in your field of interest. The nonprofit community is very collaborative and can provide good word-of-mouth information.
Identify nonprofit organizations of interest to you. Contact them to see if they offer fellowships.
Talk to current fellows for the inside story. They are expecting to hear from prospective fellows. Most fellowship Web sites profile current and former fellows. There may be an alumnus from your campus who has been a recent fellow.
Use the other Idealist.org Nonprofit Careers Resource Guides to research your field of interest for possible fellowship opportunities.
Find out about professional associations and utilize those formal networks. Some issue-oriented associations, like the Environmental Leadership Program maintain an online clearinghouse
of fellowships.
