Fellowships for Physics Majors
There are many national scholarships and fellowships
for physics students at different stages of their
education. All physics majors are encouraged to apply for
scholarships and fellowships that they feel are appropriate for
them. If you have questions or need assistance in applying for a
scholarship or fellowship, please contact the Director of Undergraduate
Studies <dus@phy.duke.edu>. An
effective way to find undergraduate scholarships and fellowships
is by searching the
web. Most scholarships are offered annually, so if you miss the

application plans accordingly. To get you started, some
