About the series: Removing barriers to scholarships & fellowships
A series of panels and sessions for students to improve access to funding
Fellowships and scholarships are part of our education system that often reflects and supports inequity. Many scholarship programs are attempting to address inequities, yet layers of institutional racism, classism and implicit bias persist and prevent full access to funding opportunities. This series will suggest strategies for navigating all aspects of the application process.
First-generation students, students of color, and students who identify as underrepresented within the university are particularly encouraged to attend, as are any students/alumni who would like to learn about applying for fellowships and scholarships.
