Truman Scholar Matthew Cournoyer, '12.
At Northeastern, we believe strongly that our experiential model of learning prepares Scholars for lifetimes of achievement in their chosen fields. All of our Scholars are introduced to the opportunities for advanced study that nationally competitive scholarships provide during their first year. As students progress through the University, our advisors help students devise pathways through the university that will make them strong contenders for these prestigious awards and offer concrete guidance on putting together applications not only for these competitions, but also for graduate schooling. The Scholars receive the full support of the Office of Undergraduate Research & Fellowships.
In addition to this fellowship advising support, University Scholars have a number of unique funding opportunities available to them.
All Scholars in good standing are eligible to apply for the Trail-Blazer Award, as well as the Presidential Global Fellowship.
