Applications for the 2023-2024 Undergraduate Fellow position are no longer being accepted.

The undergraduate fellows in the Miller College of Business represent the college to prospective business students and their families. These students work for the Office of the Dean and the Office of Student Success and Engagement, representing the college internally and at Cardinal Preview Days, admission events, and special programs. The undergraduate fellowship is the most prestigious position/scholarship granted to a Miller College upperclassman. This position serves as the “student face and voice” of Miller College and represents Miller students to outside constituents.

Structure of the Position

The undergraduate fellow works with the Miller College Student Success and Engagement office ten hours per week. The university Admissions Visitor Desk dictates the specific hours. The primary duty of the fellow is to meet with prospective students and their family members during their visit to campus. Participation in Preview Days, admission events, and Miller College special events, including May Commencement, are also required. Participation in these events may range from attendance to presenting to a large group. Please note: Many events occur on Saturdays.

Award

The Ball State Foundation pays full-time in-state tuition for enrollment including full summer, fall, and spring semesters. (Summer tuition will cover a maximum of six credit hours.) If a fellow has the Presidential Scholarship (or an equivalent tuition-only award), the undergraduate fellowship benefit will pay the tuition balance after the Presidential has been applied. These awards cannot be separated. In addition to in-state tuition, an hourly wage may also be provided for time spent on Miller College duties based on the current budget available.

The appointments are announced and begin late in spring semester.
