SUGGESTIONS FOR SOURCING FELLOWSHIPS

1. Talk with colleagues in your department, including your department Chair. Often, they’ll know of the fellowships most popular and/or best suited to the department and your research area. They may be able to put you in touch with individuals who have applied for or received an external fellowship, or they may have applied and could provide helpful information about the process.
