The Beinecke Scholarship is a prestigious fellowship awarded to college juniors who intend to go on to graduate study in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. The program seeks to encourage and enable highly motivated students to pursue opportunities available to them and to be courageous in the selection of a graduate course of study (geographic restrictions on the use of the scholarship, and recipients are allowed to supplement the award with other scholarships, assistantships and research grants). Each scholar receives $5,000 immediately prior to entering graduate school and an additional $30,000 while attending graduate school. Scholars are encouraged to begin graduate study as soon as possible following graduation from college, and must utilize all of the funding within five years of completion of undergraduate studies. Wesleyan can nominate only one Beinecke applicant per year, so nominations are competitive. Interested juniors should consult their academic advisor about their competitiveness for this kind of opportunity and reach out to fellowships@wesleyan.edu by December 13, 2022 at the very latest.
The Harry S. Truman Scholarship provides programming, an alumni network, and $30,000 for graduate study to students pursuing careers in public service. Expressions of interest are due by November 18; email fellowships@wesleyan.edu if you’re interested in applying. The Truman is open to juniors only. Only US citizens, nationals, or permanent residents can apply, and candidates must be nominated at the campus level to proceed on to the national competition.
The Goldwater Scholarship grants scholarships to undergraduates who intend to pursue research careers in the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering (the full list of disciplines is available at the bottom of the Goldwater Scholarship’s eligibility guidelines). Both sophomores and juniors are eligible to apply, though in most cases juniors are most competitive. All applicants must be actively engaged in research in addition to their coursework to be considered for this scholarship. The Goldwater Scholarship does have a monetary component ($7500 in the senior year those those who apply as a junior or $7500 in the junior year and again in the senior year for those that receive the award as a sophomore). But even more importantly, winning the Goldwater serves as a marker of early academic promise that can help students secure future fellowships, admission to graduate school, and other important forms of recognition and access that will be an asset to building a career in research.
The Office of Fellowships will hold an info session and Q&A with Goldwater Scholar Anna Fehr (’23) on Thursday, November 3 in Fisk Hall Room 209 at 4:30pm. Join us there to learn more! Freshman, sophomores, and juniors are welcome. (Come listen, even if you might apply in a future year, rather than right now!)
Those interested in applying this year should complete the pre-application (available on the Goldwater Scholarship website) by November 18, 2022 at the very latest. Reach out to fellowships@wesleyan.edu with any questions.
