National Scholarship and Fellowship Advising

The CHASE Office provides advising for undergraduate students and alumni who are candidates for nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships. We assist  students through the nomination and application process, helping them to prepare competitive applications and providing a nomination process that insures development of the students regardless the outcome of the application. 

Fellowships such as Fulbright, Truman, Rhodes, and Marshall offer outstanding graduate education opportunities for qualified students after they leave Butler. Some scholarships also support undergraduate study or opportunities for students while still at Butler. You may find information about such scholarships and fellowships in the List of Fellowships.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities, contact the CHASE office in Jordan Hall, Room 153. Planning is essential. Your first year of study is not too early to come in and see us.  Dr. Rusty Jones is the coordinator of national fellowships and scholarship advising. Some nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships such as Goldwater, Marshall, Mitchell, Rhodes and Truman, require institutional nomination or ranking. Be aware that securing the University's nomination for one of these awards is a major achievement in itself. Be sure also to note that for these awards there is an earlier institutional deadline for your application. The List of Fellowships provides both the institutional and the program deadlines.
