Fellowships
A fellowship is a highly competitive opportunity that can provide undergraduates and young alumni with funding for graduate education, postgraduate research and self-designed projects, or funds for undergraduate support and summer enrichment.
Jennifer Higgins studied traditional veterinary practices of nomadic herding communities in Mongolia as a Fulbright scholar. Today she is enrolled in a joint DVM-PhD program at Colorado State University.
