Student Opportunities
The Wallenberg Fellowship is sinprired by U-M Alumnus Raoul Wallenberg and is awarded each year to a graduating senior of exceptional promise and accomplishment who is committed to service and the public good. The fellowship provides $25,000 to carry out an independent project of learning or exploration anywhere in the world during the year after graduation.
This fellowship is open to all U-M graduating seniors; US citizenship is not required. Applicants should propose projects that are immersive and feasible. Projects should break new ground, not be the continuation of an existing project or revisit a location where the applicant has already spent extensive time.
Proposals for the Wallenberg Fellowship are due to U-M contacts in each school/college by December 1st. Each U-M school/college may nominate up to two projects to the Provost’s office.
The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships is a new U-M office created to centralize the recruitment and preparation of candidates for opportunities such as the Rhodes, Gates Cambridge, Truman, Goldwater Scholarships, and many more. ONSF is physically and administratively located within the LSA Honors Program, but is a service to students throughout the University. (Not just Honors and not just LSA.) In fact, a key part of our mission is to ensure that information about national scholarships and fellowships is distributed broadly to all eligible students in all the U-M schools and colleges.

The Office offers informal dispute resolution services, provides resources and referrals, and helps students consider options available to them. The Office operates independently as a supplement to existing administrative and formal dispute resolution processes and has no formal decision–making authority. The Office is not an advocate for either side in a dispute. Instead, the Ombuds Office is an impartial advocate for fair and consistent treatment. The Office reports administratively to the Vice President for Student Life.
