Academic, Professional Development Event
At this event we heard from Corey Efron and Jasmine Stork from the Undergraduate Fellowship Office. Over Zoom, they told us about the fellowships that they give help applying for and went through a PowerPoint presentation and gave us a sheet with different deadlines. I was most interested in CLS, because I am applying for CLS for this coming summer for Korean. However, by going to this event I was able to learn about other opportunities to get fellowships and scholarships, like the Fulbright Scholarship. I will be able to use this information if I plan on looking for more scholarships or fellowships in the future. This was important to International Affairs Scholars because we will all most likely want to apply to some of these at our time in college, especially because so many were based around International Affairs, like language learning. Being able to go to someone to help with the application process is very important, so it is great that they offer help at the Undergraduate Fellowships Office. I am really glad I was able to attend and learn more about what is available for me and have some of my questions and concerns answered.
