Our mission is to promote the full potential of fellowship candidates through the application process and to foster the continued growth and professionalization of fellowship advising in higher education.

NAFA is the only higher education association that focuses entirely on the role of fellowships advisors in higher education, bringing together advisors, faculty, administrators, and foundations.

We provide professional development, resources, and a network for those who assist students and alumni with applications for an array of nationally competitive, merit-based scholarships.
