There are a number of prestigious national and international scholarship and fellowship award opportunities which carry substantial undergraduate or graduate level funding. These include programs such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, Gates Cambridge, Truman, Udall, Goldwater, National Science Foundation among others.

The University at Buffalo Honors Program administers the application process university-wide for major fellowships and scholarships. Please note that affiliation with the University Honors Program as an Honors Scholar is not required. Most of these awards require a university endorsement before the applications can be forwarded to the final levels of competition.

Advance preparation for these awards is essential and may begin in the student's freshman year. To help students prepare competitive applications, the University Honors Program offers individual advising assistance to all UB students in: determining the appropriate fellowship or scholarship students should pursue, developing a competitive profile, selecting recommenders, preparing compelling personal statements, interviewing and developing project proposals or proposed programs of study.

Students may also view these fellowships and scholarships online at the University Honors Program site or contact Hadar Borden, from the University Honors Program, University at Buffalo, 214 Talbert Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260-1700, (716) 645-3020.
