Presidential Fellowships

Presidential Fellowships award a $30,000 annual merit scholarship renewable over four years, and match recipients with a mentor from the faculty or University staff who include them in a significant, long-term project or experience.

Recipients must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher at Bucknell.

Presidential Fellows dedicate six to eight hours per week during the academic year on a challenging, long-term project that matches their interests, for which they may earn up to $1,800. Fellows are invited to academic and cultural activities on campus and participate in special professional development events.

Note: Fellows may change their fellowship positions as their interests grow and develop.
