Post-Undergraduate Two-Year Research Fellowship Award

About this program

The Autism Science Foundation offers a Post-Undergraduate Two-Year Research Fellowship Award to support recent bachelor's degree recipients seeking intensive autism research experience in a lab environment before entering a graduate program. The fellowship provides $30,000 annually for two years, with a focus on scientifically rigorous projects related to autism, including under-researched areas such as profound autism, severe behaviors, and disparities in minority or socioeconomically challenged communities. Eligible applicants are students with a bachelor's degree who are not yet enrolled in graduate school, with no requirement for prior acceptance into a graduate program. Funds are strictly for direct research costs, excluding indirect university expenses unless explicitly approved by ASF.
