    George Washington Carver Fellowship Application

    The renowned George Washington Carver got his start in college at Simpson College. Carver once said, "I owe to Simpson College my real beginning in life." As a lifelong learner, entrepreneur, scientist, artist and humanitarian, Carver represented the qualities and characteristics of a true scholar and leader. Carver Scholars and Fellows exemplify the ideals that are so much a part of the Carver legacy at Simpson.

    The Carver Fellowship Program selects students who have demonstrated leadership, academic accomplishments, and service to others. This scholarship is awarded to students from distinctive and broadly diverse backgrounds who exhibit potential for social justice, leadership, scholarship, and engagement. These are the principles that guided Carver's life.

    Carver Fellowships range from 3/4 - full tuition. This fellowship is renewable provided the student is in good academic standing.
