Jordan Smith Undergraduate Student Fellowship

The Jordan Smith Undergraduate Student Fellowship is awarded by The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition in collaboration with DIA Higher Education Collaborators. Up to five fellowships are awarded annually to undergraduate students to attend the Annual Conference on The First-Year Experience. The purpose of the fellowship program is to advance the leadership skills and knowledge base of undergraduate students so that they may in turn use what they learn at the conference to enhance and encourage first-year student development on their respective campuses. Fellowship recipients receive complimentary conference registration including all sessions, meal functions, and preconference workshops; hotel accommodations for up to four nights; and recognition through various channels including a plaque presentation during the conference, feature in the Center's newsletter, and recognition on the Center's website and social media.
