Get Started

Engage with ONS

At the Office of National Scholars, we help students reflect on their own interests and goals to find opportunities that will move them forward, whether that be through studying abroad, interning, doing research, or attending prestigious graduate programs.

Competitive scholarship and fellowship programs provide these opportunities for intellectual and professional development across the country and the world. These awards are typically funded by governments or major foundations to support the most standout students.
