The Wells Fargo Academic Leaders Fellowship Program is currently not accepting applications.

Description

The Wells Fargo Academic Leaders Fellowship Program is a selective, full scholarship for Pell-eligible high school seniors. The fellowship was awarded to 20 student leaders in 2018 with the intent of promoting their academic excellence and leadership development, through college graduation. 

Award

Fellows receive funding for the full cost of attendance* that is not already covered by other financial aid, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

• A high school senior

Selected Wells Fargo Fellows must enroll full-time, in a four-year degree program, at a US accredited, not-for-profit, private or public college or university. Failure to enroll in the fall of 2018 will lead to forfeiture of the scholarship.
