National prestigious scholarships open opportunities for the world’s best graduate study, network building, and international experience. Each year thousands of America’s best university students craft personal statements, seek excellent reference letters, and draft research proposals as they apply for a major scholarship award. Each student who does so learns how to think deeply about their abilities and the uses they can put them to, and finds their horizons broadened by the experience of applying. Scholarships are available to students from all majors, although some have special requirements and emphases (see individual descriptions below). Valdosta State University’s best students should explore national scholarship opportunities, such as those listed below, knowing that the process of applying in itself is a valuable experience which builds self- knowledge and wisdom. Faculty advisors and mentors are available to discuss particular scholarships with students, and to offer help with personal statements and research proposals.
