Tips for Students

      • Planning your time at McKendree can be key to finding fellowships that match your interests. As you think about your academic journey, consider if you prefer to study off-campus or if specific courses required for your potential major are only offered during certain years. By planning your schedule early, you'll be well-positioned to identify fellowships that align with your goals at McKendree.
