OFFICE OF STUDENT FELLOWSHIPS AND AWARDS

The Office of Student Fellowships and Awards helps UTEP students and recent alumni identify prestigious, nationally competitive, funding opportunities and provides support as they prepare their application materials. Nationally competitive awards are more than just money—they are transformative experiences that give you a competitive edge for graduate school and your future career.

We can help you:

Identify external fellowships, scholarships and other awards relevant to your academic and professional goals
Plan ahead for fellowships and scholarships that you want to apply for in the future
Cultivate strong relationships with faculty mentors on campus who can support your applications
Hone your writing skills for your personal statement, research grant proposal and other application essays
Practice interviewing skills
