Henry Dyson

As the director of U-M's Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF) I work with students throughout the University who are interested in applying for scholarships such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates Cambridge, Knight-Hennessy, Truman, Goldwater, and many more.  

I originally came to the University of Michigan in 2005 as a research fellow in Philosophy and Classical Studies, having previously taught philosophy at The College of William and Mary.  My academic research  is Greek and Roman philosophy (the Stoics, Epicureans, Cynics, and Skeptics).  My favorite thing about advising, however, is that I have the opportunity to work with U-M's best and more enterprising students all across our curriculum.  I love that in a single day I might talk with students about courses on Shakespeare, biostatistics, human rights, Islamic mysticism, and nuclear engineering; or about careers in international relations, biomedical research, or teaching. I specialize in helping students craft their "story" and present this on scholarship applications (personal statements, letters) and interviews.
