The Fellowship is extremely competitive; a well-prepared application and carefully selected references are key components to a successful application. Developing a clear, comprehensive, and competitive application is estimated to take at least 25 hours, so we encourage you to start this process as soon as possible.
We suggest you complete the ‘Personal Information’ and ‘Recommendation’ sections of the application first. We require that all recommenders use the online system. You are responsible for ensuring that your application and three letters of recommendation are submitted by the deadline.
The application has six major sections:
Applications will not be complete until both the application and three recommendations have been submitted online. Only applications completed by the January 12, 2016 deadline will be considered. You must use the online system to apply. We do not accept any application submissions by post, fax, or email.
