The following are external
fellowships for undergraduates, medical students and post docs interested in
performing research. This list is not totally inclusive, as new fellowships
are created yearly.
Some fellowships offer stipend support
to do research within your own university; others offer stipends to work on-site.
Deadlines generally fall around the same day each year. Deadline
dates and stipend amounts should be verified by checking for updates on the
agency website or call the agency for the most current information.
If you plan to apply for any research
fellowship, please contact the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs before
applying. Please give yourself at least one month to put your application
together.
