Fellowships for the Sciences

I think a lot of the time in these kinds of applications, they’re not really looking for you to be perfect ... they want to see that you’re able to adapt and work with what you’re given.”

2018 National Institute of Standards and Technology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow (NIST SURF)

“The The Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program will give me a community of like-minded thinkers and builders who were on a similar mission to make research more actionable, accessible, and applicable to the everyday realities of those whom we ‘research.’”

"I realized that there was so much to my story that aligned with the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship without trying to fit a particular mold. I'd suggest other students think deeply about their values – the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program is very much a value-driven community, just like Wellesley – and share their global mission."

“The Watson Fellowship is the opportunity of a lifetime... it’s brought me to places I’d never dreamed of visiting, given me friends in every corner of the world, and allowed me to not just visit, but truly inhabit, incredible communities in other cultures.”
