Award-Winning Students

Rutgers students are smart, diverse, ambitious, and engaged with the world around them. Their hard work and academic achievements have been recognized with major national and international awards. Many of them receive help from the Office of Distinguished Fellowships, which assists students and recent graduates in all stages of the application process for major fellowships. The office is geared not only for students in their last year of college, but for all students — from first-years to seniors — who want to pursue their academic goals beyond Rutgers with a fellowship.
