The Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships serves as the University of Pennsylvania's information hub and primary support office for Penn students and alumni considering applying for major grants and fellowships. CURF aims to demystify these opportunities to help undergraduate and graduate students and alumni determine which fellowships they wish to explore and support them through the application process.
To start exploring fellowships:
- Identify opportunities that may interest you and review in our searchable and filterable Fellowships Directory
- Join CURF’s weekly listserv to keep informed about upcoming events and opportunities
- Attend an upcoming Fellowships: What Do I Need to Know? and Fellowships 201: How to Build an Effective Fellowship Application session and other CURF events
- If you can’t attend any of these events, review our online Fellowships: What Do I Need to Know? slide deck and our Fellowships 201: How to Build an Effective Fellowship Application slide deck (Penn log-in required)
- Once you determine which fellowships you wish to explore, please follow the links to those fellowships' websites and schedule an appointment with the contact person for those fellowships
