Binghamton University offers both general and specialized fellowship opportunities. Fellowship recipients are typically provided with academic-year stipends, plus full- or partial-tuition scholarships. While recipients must comply with curriculum and academic program expectations, fellowships carry few or no work requirements.

Dr. Bhagwan Gajwani Fellowship
The Dr. Bhagwan Gajwani Fellowship, established in 1998, aims to promote educational and cultural relationships between Binghamton University and the Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU) of Baroda, Gujarat, India, as well as to help students from Gajwani's homeland develop the expertise and skills to enhance the quality of life for the people of India. Two fellowships are awarded every year and each includes a $12,000 academic-year stipend and a full-tuition scholarship. The fellowships are awarded annually to selected graduates of MSU currently residing in India who have been admitted into a master's degree program in one of the following fields: business administration, computer science, economics or engineering. If there are not any eligible candidates from MSU, the fellowship may be awarded to students who meet the criteria above and graduated from other universities in India.
To apply, answer "yes" to the Gajwani Fellowship question on the graduate degree program application and submit the Gajwani Fellowship Application. To access the Gajwani Fellowship Application form, log in to your graduate application status page with the email and password that you used to create your graduate degree application. The Gajwani Fellowship Application form is available under the Forms section of your status page. The fellowship is generally awarded by April 1; however, applications will continue to be accepted.
