 *These statistics were obtained from the Wellesley College Center for Work and Service. The granting foundation may have slightly lower numbers as Wellesley includes in its figures all students awarded a scholarship or fellowship, even if the student turns down the award or was awarded more than one by the granting foundation. Alumnae awards are included in the counts.
** The Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship is no longer offered.

There are many national scholarships not included in this report. We selected those that seemed greatest in scope and for which information is readily available on the internet. For more information on scholarships and fellowships available, students may consult the CWS
