The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition will award up to five fellowships to undergraduate students for the 2009 Annual Conference on The First-Year Experience, which will be held in Orlando, Florida. The fellowships pay the participant’s conference registration fee, but no travel or lodging expenses.
Who Should Submit an Application?
The Annual Conference on The First-Year Experience Fellowship Program is open to all undergraduate students who are enrolled for the 2008-2009 academic year. All students who are interested in first-year programs, mentoring first-year students, and/or any other aspect of first-year student life and leadership are encouraged to apply.
