Research Fellowships

Supporting students across all levels of scholarship

The Drexel University College of Arts and Sciences offers a wide variety of research fellowships across all levels of scholarship

Drexel University fellowships and scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. The level of assistance depends on the quality of a student’s academic record, the availability of funds, the student’s enrollment status (part-time or full-time) and demonstrated financial need. There are a number of funding opportunities available, both within the College of Arts and Sciences and the University, and from many external sources.

Dean’s Graduate Fellowship Program

In addition to teaching and research assistantships, the College of Arts and Sciences awards 10 Dean’s Fellowships each year to graduate students from across the College. These highly competitive awards include a $5,000 stipend to supplement the first two years of study.

Undergraduate Fellowship Program

The Undergraduate Fellowship program supports research in the sciences, humanities and social sciences by undergraduates enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences. Fellows are undergraduates who receive a $4,000 stipend to conduct research with College faculty members. Eligible applicants must be enrolled in a major in the College of Arts and Sciences and must be, at least, in their second year.
