Fellowships Peer Mentor Program
Meet with a national fellowship winner and find out how applying for a national fellowship could change your life.



Spotlight on National Fellowships

Meet the Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs (OFSP)! Their ultimate goal is to see you awarded prestigious fellowships and scholarships, yet the preparation process, in and of itself, enhances your academic and personal skills.

They can give you advice targeting specific national competitions, connect you with faculty mentors, and provide assistance through essay review, reflective conversations, and interview practice. Find a competition! 

Students who engage in the process of applying for a fellowship typically gain:

• a better sense of their professional interests, strengths and talents, career goals and graduate school options.
• stronger interpersonal skills and interview techniques.
• experience and maturity in presenting and defending ideas in writing and before panels of reviewers.
• improved ability in preparing applications for competitive positions.
• individual guidance from faculty and recognition from USC for outstanding efforts and accomplishments.
• greater relationships with faculty members.
• involvement in research activities.
