Fellowships for Distinguished Students
The "Stockton Board of Trustees Fellowships for Distinguished Students" program was
established by the Board of
Trustees in April of 1986. It supports student-initiated projects of undergraduate
research and/or creative work in keeping with the educational philosophy and mission
of Stockton University. Fellowship awards in amounts up to $1,000 each are provided
semi-annually contingent upon available funds. While fellowships are intended to be
utilized during time periods when the college is not in normal academic session (i.e.,
winter and summer semester breaks), projects that extend into the academic semester
will be considered.
Projects dedicated to social justice, civic engagement activities, and/or experiential learning opportunities or high impact practices will be given priority for funding.
