The Fares Center will be hosting an info session with some of our Fares Fellows to talk about funding opportunities available for students. The event will take place on Thursday, February 15th, 12-1pm EST, at the Fares Center.

The event will mainly focus on the Fares Summer Fellowships, which provide funding for research or internships done during the summer, and the Robinson Fund Fellowship, which provides a full-tuition scholarship.   RSVP here

The panel will include the following Fares Fellows:
