Mission
Established in 2019, the Office of Prestigious Awards and Fellowships provides holistic advising and support to currently enrolled Embry‑Riddle undergraduate students, graduate students, and alumni applying for the nationally and internationally competitive scholarships, fellowships, and awards from our curated list of opportunities we believe meet the needs of our population. We inform the ERAU community about opportunities and work closely with faculty and staff to help identify and match our students’ talent to award criteria. We strive to teach our Eagles how to develop as strong candidates for fellowships and awards.
The ERAU Office of Prestigious Awards & Fellowships is a member of The National Association of Fellowship Advisors and adheres to the organization’s values and code of ethics in fellowship advising.
