Graduate Fellowships

Being a high-achieving student often leads to career paths that require advanced degrees. We recognize this comes as an additional financial burden to our students, and we offer 28 Graduate Fellowships ranging from $2,000 to $7,000 designed to help offset graduate school costs. ALD funds $76,000 worth of Graduate Fellowships each year to help our members achieve their career goals.
