The External Scholarships and Undergraduate Research Center helps students find and apply for merit-based external scholarships and awards. This funding is not directly applied towards Binghamton University tuition, but rather, is funding typically for research programs and specified degree programs and career paths. The funds awarded support these research programs or contribute to graduate or professional school pursuits.
(Internal scholarships refer to scholarships that go directly toward Binghamton University tuition. Internal scholarships are typically handled by the financial aid office. The Financial Aid office is located in the admissions building and can be reached at finaid@binghamton.edu.)
Our office maintains a table of external scholarships with internal deadlines (if applicable), the approximate annual national deadline, and assigned advisor (keep scrolling to see the table). The Scholarships and Other Award Resources database contains opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students and, along with scholarships, includes fellowships, grants, research and internship opportunities, essay contests, and more.
We are here to help you navigate the world of fellowships and awards. Our Research and Scholarship Advisors are available to meet with you daily during scheduled walk-in and appointment hours. We adhere to the National Association of Fellowship Advisors' (NAFA) values and code of ethics for advisors, students, institutions, and foundations. Our advising team will help guide you through the application process, start to finish. Information about walk-in and appointment advising hours can be found on our contact page.
