Scholarships and Fellowships for International Students

Many scholarships and fellowships require U.S. citizenship or residency. Below are several resources to assist Grinnell’s international students who seek merit-based funding for advancing their educations. 

Fischlowitz International Student Travel Fellowship

Grinnell’s international students should know about the Fischlowitz International Student Travel Fellowship, which provides $5,000 for an international student to explore the USA each summer. (Applying for the Fischlowitz Fellowship is excellent practice for applying for the Watson Fellowship during the senior year.)​​​​​​​

Scholarship List

Please see the Scholarships for International Students list, which lists approximately 100 opportunities that accept applications from international students. (Thanks to members of the National Association of Fellowship Advisors for assembling the opportunities on this list.)
