About Fellowships
Fellowships provide an opportunity for students and graduates to pursue opportunities in study, travel, and public service, both during the summer and after graduation. Students should seek fellowships to pursue specific academic, intellectual, or personal goals. Lowell House students can use this page to learn about available fellowships and to become familiar with application procedures.

Important Notes and Dates
Please see the OCS fellowships calendar for the list of deadlines and the OCS Information Meetings calendar for a list of upcoming meetings.
Also, check the fellowships bulletin board outside the dining hall and subscribe to the Lowell fellowships mailing list (see below).

Coolidge Arts & Media Internship Grant
Lowell House is pleased to offer financial support for an unpaid media or arts internship or indepedent project during the summer vacation. Maximum award is typically $2,000-$3,000. Preference may be given to students returning to the House in the fall. The internship opportunity must be confirmed at the time of the application and must be an unpaid position lasting for at least six weeks. An application consists of a resume; a simple budget; and a statement, not to exceed 1,000 words, describing the internship, your reasons for pursuing it, and your relevant qualifications and experience. Applicants must submit these materials to the Lowell House Office, marked to the attention of Josh Goldman, no later than Monday, April 7.

From the Fellowships Tutors, Josh Goldman and Courtney Peterson
We are available to assist Lowell House students who are thinking about fellowships or in the process of applying for them. We can help you find fellowships that are a good match for your interests and goals; we can refer you to other tutors or resources in the house who have experience with various fellowships and programs; and we can give you feedback on drafts of your personal statements and proposals. Please email us with any questions, or come see us during office hours (look for a signup sheet next to the fellowships bulletin board outside the dining hall).

Before we meet, please have a look through the resources on this website and begin looking for fellowships that interest you in the online supplement to the Harvard College Guide to Grants.
