The Thomas J. Watson Fellowship is a one-year grant for purposeful, independent exploration outside the United States, awarded to graduating seniors nominated by one of 41 partner institutions. Applicants must be a US Citizen or international student applying in the academic year that they receive their bachelor's degree and are nominated by one of the 41 partner institutions. At-large applications are not accepted. All majors and fields of inquiry are eligible. It is strongly recommended that applicants and fellows are up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccinations. Applicants must also submit two recommendations. If nominated by the college, students will enter the national selection process and have a one-hour interview with a foundation representative. Students must ask their campus advisor about internal deadlines. The Watson Fellowship is a rare window after college and pre-career to engage your deepest interest on a global scale. Fellows conceive original projects, execute them outside of the United States for one year and embrace the ensuing journey. They decide where to go, who to meet and when to change course. They do not affiliate with academic institutions and may not hold formal employment. In addition to the monetary award, the foundation provides health insurance, the equivalent of 12-months of payments on outstanding institutional and federally guaranteed (Perkins, Stafford) loans, and an additional stipend for the support of Personal Assistance Services (PAS) or spouse. Only partner colleges may nominate students. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
