Weill Cornell Graduate School Fellowship Award Policies

While WCGS guarantees funding for all students, we strongly encourage our students to apply for external funding. As an incentive, WCGS issues an additional “Fellowship Award” to each student who receives a fellowship, scholarship, or grant from an external funding agency’s competitive award program.

Fellowship Opportunities

The Graduate School strongly encourages our students to apply for external fellowships. The Office of Fellowships and Scientific Writing is available to aid Master's and PhD graduate students in the selection, preparation, and submission of their applications. For more information, please contact Dr. Anastasia Efthymiou via email at ane4008@med.cornell.edu.

Fellowships and Scientific Writing Resources

The Office of Fellowships and Scientific Writing (OFSW) helps students identify external funding opportunities and navigate the application process. Applying for a fellowship is a hands-on way to develop your research plans, take ownership of your project, and advance your scientific career.

Tri-Institutional Consulting Club

The Tri-Institutional Consulting Club strives to provide guidance to members of the Tri-I community who wish to pursue a career in consulting. We host various events - from case competitions to bootcamps to informational sessions for various firms - that help our members with their career development. From February to August, we have weekly sessions on Thursday evenings where members get together to practice casing with each other in preparation for recruitment season.
