About the Fellowship
The Shaw Innovation Fellowship offers two programs to catalyze student innovation on campus by providing mentorship, curriculum, professional development opportunities, and stipend support. Shaw Fellows work with internal and external partners to create solutions that address social, environmental, and economic challenges facing our communities. In 2024, six Senior Shaw Fellows from across ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ’s academic programs each receive $5,000 to lead an innovative project in their area of interest. A second group of students form the Shaw Innovation Team, with each team member receiving $1,000 to collaborate on an interdisciplinary capstone project. As part of the program, students also have the opportunity to meet other local and regional innovators via specially designed workshops.
