The Leadership Fellowship
The Leadership Fellowship is a year-long, cohort-based program housed in the office of Graduate Student Life & Wellness. It was created to build a stronger and more connected graduate student community at MSU by supporting and providing space for graduate and professional student leaders to engage in change-oriented projects. Fellows aim to increase belonging and community within their colleges or specific populations of students, and their projects increase graduate student well-being, inclusion, and ultimately success.
Click here for a full description of the Fellowship and a link to the application. We will begin accepting applications for 2023-24 from February 13 until March 17.

ISP Scholarships- Deadline March 1st
Applications are now open for three International Studies & Programs scholarships and grant opportunities. Because COVID limited travel plans in previous years, we will be able to distribute more funding for the Claffey Meyer grant than ever before.
Claffey Meyer International Travel Grant
This award provides financial assistance to domestic students who intend to travel to developing countries for the purpose of providing technical assistance, participate in research, or engage in service. The intent is for students to work towards discovering and implementing solutions in response to urgent human needs (for example: food security, environmental quality, health and nutrition, education, and other areas) and, thereby, to encourage careers in international development teaching, research and practice. Grants are intended to support travel, related living expenses, and projects costs—not to be used as a tuition scholarship.
- Open to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students
- Multiple scholarships will be given in 2023
- Award amounts will vary, but will be no less than $2,000
Dr. Charles and Marjorie Gliozzo Dissertation Research Scholarship
This scholarship is available to MSU doctoral students with dissertation research objectives who have defended, or are in the process of defending, a dissertation proposal. The scholarship supports field research abroad in support of the student’s dissertation.
The Walker Hill International Award is available to MSU doctoral students to be used for pre-dissertation visits to a doctoral research site in a country outside the United States (for international students, research in one’s own country does not qualify). The student must have completed adequate credits and be able to submit a description, appropriateness and feasibility of pre-dissertation research objectives to be accomplished during the period spent abroad.
Please see each link for more information about the award, including necessary application materials and eligibility requirements. If you have any questions or problems submitting, email ISP.scholarship@msu.edu.
