Is ONSF right for YOU?

The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF) advises and mentors high-achieving students at the University of Connecticut who are competing for prestigious national and international scholarships and fellowships.

ONSF is part of UConn Enrichment Programs and is open to all graduate and undergraduate students at the University, including students at the regional campuses. Students are encouraged to contact an advisor by pressing the “Talk to an Advisor” button below and filling out a brief in-take survey so we may best address your needs.

In addition to advising students about nationally competitive awards, ONSF nominates and prepares candidates for scholarships that require institutional endorsement, including the Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, Beinecke, Goldwater, Udall, Truman, and Gaither Junior Fellows competitions, and those that require institutional review, including the U.S. Student Fulbright grants, the NSEP Boren Scholarships and the NEW Schwarzman Scholars program.

The National Fellowships Incentive Program (NFIP)

The National Fellowships Incentive Program (NFIP) application is temporarily closed.  The spring 2019 NFIP cycle will begin on Tuesday, 1/22, at which time the online application will re-open.

If you are a faculty mentor or student who submitted an NFIP application before 1/14/19, your application is currently being reviewed.  You should hear from ONSF regarding the the status of your application soon.
