Cornell University has launched the Office of National Fellowships, a new unit designed to expand student access to competitive opportunities that fund graduate study, research, service projects and global experiences.

Previously operating as part of Cornell Career Services, the new dedicated office aims to raise awareness across campus and empower more students to pursue these life-changing opportunities.

“There are pockets of campus where we have high-achieving students that aren't getting access to these kinds of opportunities,” said Krista Saleet, director of the new office. “We previously weren’t able to do the outreach that we can do now.”

Located in 100 Barnes Hall, the office provides support to undergraduates and alumni at any stage of the application process, from exploring which fellowships might fit their goals, to reviewing written materials, selecting applications for endorsement and conducting mock interviews for finalists.
