Resources
Web sites put up by the individual fellowships have the most up-to-date information. Be sure to check Pomona's internal deadline dates if the fellowship requires nomination by the College.
Consult professors and others with expertise in your area of interest. If interested in graduate work abroad, find out who has studied or lived in the places you want to go.
Selected external links appear below. Use them with care--information may be outdated, and some awards may be available only at specified institutions. Ignore other institutions' internal deadlines; check with the GFO for Pomona's deadlines if the fellowship requires College nomination.
