Seaver College Student Fellowship for Equity and Social Justice

The Seaver College Student Fellowship for Equity and Social Justice will be awarded each year to rising  juniors and seniors who have demonstrated a deep and abiding commitment to issues of equity and social justice. Up to two student fellows will pursue a project that has the potential to affect lasting positive change at Seaver College in the areas of belonging, inclusion, equity and social justice. 

To apply, students must submit a cover letter detailing their commitment to equity and social justice initiatives and a project proposal. Project proposals should be three to four pages in length detailing the project’s potential, timeline for completion, and plans for sustainable continuation beyond the implementation year. Students should identify a faculty sponsor who will support and mentor them through the completion of their project. Students awarded the fellowship will receive a $7,500 scholarship; faculty mentors will receive a $2,000 stipend. 

Applications for the 2025–2026 academic year will be accepted through March 25, 2025, and award decisions will be made by April 30, 2025. The award is sponsored by the Seaver Dean’s Office.
