DAAD Workshop This Week – Travel to Germany!
Why not get a stipend for your studies?

CIE peer advisor and DAAD representative Joanne Buenaventura will be speaking at a couple of workshops about DAAD and what it can do for you. Please RSVP to sklrship@uci.edu if you are interested in attending.
- Workshop dates:

$20,000 for Grad School in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences
The deadline is fast approaching! Seniors planning to go to graduate school in select fields may qualify for the Javits prestigious fellowship. While the deadline for SOP review has already passed, you can still apply, and we will still answer any questions you might have about it! To learn more, visit our page about Javits, or e-mail Charllotte at sklrship@uci.edu.
Scholarships are like shoes…
…It’s all about finding one that fits you! Fall is one of the busiest times for scholarships and you don’t want to miss out on a grant or fellowship that would be perfect for your future goals. Many scholarships, including the Ford, Hertz, NSF, and Soros scholarships are due in early November. Especially if you are a senior intending on going to grad school, please check out our main page at www.scholars.uci.edu or check out our bulletin board to see what opportunities are approaching.
