Aaliyah Lee Scholarship 2026 - $1,000 NPVA Award
The Aaliyah Lee Scholarship 2026 is a $1,000 merit award from the National Parent Volunteer Association that honors Aaliyah Lee, a mother who dedicated herself to her children's educational opportunities. NPVA lists it alongside other small volunteer-themed scholarships for students enrolled or planning to enroll at an accredited US college, university, or vocational program. You can be a high school junior or senior, an undergraduate, or a graduate student with a GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

GEM PhD Science Fellowship 2027 - $16,000+ Stipend
The National GEM Consortium PhD Engineering and Science Fellowship matches US citizens and permanent residents with employer sponsors and GEM member universities for a funded doctorate in engineering or applied science. Employer Fellows receive at least $16,000 per year, full tuition and fees through the fifth year, a department stipend top-up, and at least one paid summer internship. You need a 3.0 cumulative GPA, applications to three GEM member universities, and a contractual internship commitment. The 2026 application window closes 13 November 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern.
Oceanic Research Group Scholarship 2027 - $1,000
The Oceanic Research Group Undergraduate Marine Conservation Scholarship pays $1,000 toward independent research or fieldwork for students in accredited marine-conservation or related undergraduate programs. Oceanic Research Group partners with the Women Divers Hall of Fame to administer the award. Applications open 1 October 2026 and close 30 November 2026 at 5:00 p.m. New York time through the WDHOF portal. Funds arrive in spring 2027 and must be used within 18 months.
Alfa Chemistry Scholarship 2027 - $1,000 Science
Alfa Chemistry awards $1,000 to one full-time undergraduate, graduate, or Ph.D. student in biochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, or materials science with at least a 3.0 GPA. Email the application form, recommendation letter, official transcript, and an original 600-800-word essay or 8-10-slide presentation on deformulation, building-block chemistry, or nanomaterials to [email protected] by 30 November 2027. Selection weighs academics, leadership, and community service. Winners are announced around 15 December.
University of Georgia Undergraduate Scholarships 2027
The University of Georgia hands out thousands of academic scholarships every admissions cycle, and almost none of them have an application form. Admitted first-year students are screened automatically for a ladder of awards running from a $2,000 Charter Scholarship up to the Foundation Fellowship, which pays a $15,750 stipend in state and $30,000 for international students on top of a tuition waiver. Out-of-state applicants are scored for the Classic and Classic City awards, which wipe out half or all of the gap between in-state and non-resident tuition. The only deadlines that belong to a scholarship rather than to admission are 1 November for the Foundation Fellowship and 15 January for the CURO Honors Scholarship.
CSIS Internships 2027 - Paid Policy Research in DC
The Center for Strategic and International Studies runs paid internships in Washington, DC across its research programs, in the fall, spring and summer terms, for undergraduates, graduate students and recent graduates. Interns are paid by the hour on a published scale of $18.40 for current undergraduates, $19.40 for hires holding a bachelor's degree and $20.40 for hires holding a master's, and they join the programming of the Abshire-Inamori Leadership Academy alongside roughly 200 other interns a year. There is no single application and no single cutoff. Each program posts its own intern role on the CSIS careers portal, and the pattern CSIS publishes is February postings for the summer term, July for the fall term and October for the spring term. Work authorisation in the United States is the hard gate, since CSIS does not sponsor visas for interns, and housing is not provided.
Anthropic Fellows Program 2027 - AI Safety Research
The Anthropic Fellows Program pays technical people to spend four months doing full-time empirical AI research with an Anthropic mentor, aiming at a public output such as a paper. Fellows receive a weekly stipend of 3,850 USD (2,310 GBP or 4,300 CAD), benefits that vary by country, and roughly 15,000 dollars a month of compute funding. Five workstreams run under the same programme: AI Safety, AI Security, ML Systems and Performance, Reinforcement Learning, and the Anthropic Institute covering economics and policy. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis for the next cohort, which Anthropic expects to start in January 2027. The hard gate is location: you must already hold work authorisation in the US, the UK or Canada and be in that country during the programme, because no visas are sponsored for fellows.
Education Matters Scholarship 2026 - $5,000 Unigo Award
The Education Matters Scholarship is Unigo's $5,000 award for a 250-word answer to one question: what would you say to someone who thinks education does not matter, or that college is a waste of time and money? It is the largest of the scholarships Unigo runs under its own name, and the application asks for no transcript, no GPA figure, no recommendation letters and no financial paperwork. Anyone aged 14 or older who is a legal US resident of the 50 states or the District of Columbia can enter, as long as they already attend an accredited college, university or trade school or will enrol no later than the fall of 2031. The current cycle opened on 30 November 2025 and closes on 30 November 2026 at 11:59pm Pacific Time. A panel picks one winner on or about 28 February 2027, and the $5,000 goes to the winner's school as a check rather than to the student in cash.
Editing Services Scholarship 2026 - $1,000 Essay Award
The Editing Services Scholarship 2026 is a $1,000 award from editing.services, the writing and editing marketplace run by ServiceScape Incorporated. One winner is chosen on the quality of a 300-word essay answering a single question: how does writing impact today's world? There is no transcript, no GPA floor, no recommendation letter and no fee. You need to be at least 18 and attending, or about to attend, an accredited college, university or trade school in 2026. Entries opened on 1 December 2025 and close on 30 November 2026 UTC, with the winner notified by email in December 2026 and the $1,000 mailed as a check within four weeks.
Hoover Fellowship 2027 - $169,950+ Salary at Stanford
The Hoover Fellowship is a salaried research post at the Hoover Institution on the Stanford University campus, running one to three years with no teaching load. The 12-month base salary range is $169,950 to $230,000 plus a $20,000 annual housing allowance. Applications for the 2026-2027 round close at 11:59 PM PT on 17 November 2026.
Tulane University Merit Scholarships 2027
Tulane considers every first-year applicant for merit money automatically, with no separate scholarship form. Partial tuition awards run from $1,000 to $32,000 a year. Above them sit the full-tuition Dean's Honor Scholarship, the Grossman & Cohen Scholarship worth roughly $400,000 across four years, and around five Stamps Scholarships a year that cover the entire $98,710 cost of attendance plus an enrichment fund. International students compete for the same awards through the Global Scholarships route, up to full tuition and fees. The date that decides how much is still in play is 10 November 2026, the Early Action deadline for Fall 2027 entry, because several scholarship supplements close in December.
