National Fellowships and Scholar Programs

Fellowship Peer Mentors

Fellowship Peer Mentors (FPMs) are current USC students and national award winners who help the National Fellowships Office with outreach. Recipients of awards such as Hollings, Goldwater, Critical Language Scholarship, Truman and more, these students come from an array of different disciplines and fellowship experiences. They are excited to chat with peers about their specific fellowship experience over coffee (on us!). 

Connecting with a Peer Mentor

Interested in chatting with an FPM? Follow these steps: 

No FPM for your fellowship of interest? Already met with an FPM? Then make an advisor appointment and complete your Candidate Profile.
