With the guidance of the Fellowships and Grants team in the Career and Community Engagement Center, Whitman College students and alumni are awarded many grants, fellowships and scholarships each year to continue their education and service beyond our campus.
In the last 15 years, more than 500 Whitman students have earned prestigious fellowships and grants. This year was no different, with over a dozen successful applicants who excelled in the areas of academic achievement, leadership and community engagement/service.
Below we highlight the students and alumni who were fellowship or grant recipients in the 2023–2024 academic year.
Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE)
Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) German Academic Exchange Service is the world’s largest funding organization for the international exchange of students and researchers. Since it was founded in 1925, around 2.9 million scholars in Germany and abroad have received DAAD funding. DAAD supports RISE Germany, which allows undergraduate students to complete summer research internships at top German universities and research institutions, and RISE Professional, which offers summer research internships at companies and nonuniversity research institutions with strong connections to industry.
