The Fellowships Program at Rhodes has pioneered a number of unique relationships that take advantage of the college’s metropolitan location. Students are able to take their learning beyond the classroom and into the world around them. There are many established fellowships in all types of fields, from assisting in the labs at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to studying animal behavior at the Memphis Zoo. Students, with the help of a faculty or staff advisor, can also create a new fellowship based on their personal passions.

The result will provide you with an estimated award package like one you might receive after you have applied for admission and been accepted at Rhodes.
