About the Office of National Scholarships
The Office of National Scholarships (ONS) recruits and mentors high-achieving students to compete for prestigious national scholarships. The ONS currently targets eleven scholarships: the Goldwater (for math, science, and engineering students), Udall (for those interested in environmental studies), Madison (for students becoming social studies teachers), Truman (for students involved in public service), Carnegie Fellows (for those interested in international affairs), the Rhodes and Marshall (for future national leaders), Mitchell (for study in Ireland), Gates Cambridge (for study at Cambridge), Jack Kent Cooke, and the Javits (for arts, humanities, and social sciences). All of these competitions are for undergraduates or recent graduates with extremely strong academic records and depth of experience, as evidenced by consistent leadership experience, community engagement, or involvement in research throughout the undergraduate career.
The Application Process
Visit our office in the Center for Undergraduate Education (CUE) 414 to learn how you can be competitive. Drop by or make an appointment with the Director, Dr. Jill Deans, 486-0087, ons@uconn.edu or contact Marlene Coughlin, 486-6255, with questions.
