Middlebury Fellowships and Undergraduate Research
A font of information about undergraduate research, competitive fellowships, application processes and upcoming events and deadlines!
//If you’re applying for a Fulbright (deadline Friday, Sept. 26 at noon) and you want us to order your transcript for you, start your application in Embark NOW if you haven’t done so! We will use this list of registered applicants to place an order for Middlebury transcripts (you’ll have to obtain others yourselves) tomorrow, Sept 16. But we need time to get this done and get you a pdf copy–so please register now if you haven’t done so!
//A few miscellaneous notes:
1. selecting a region for the Marshall/Rhodes–you should not need to determine that at the nomination stage. If you are nominated, we can discuss. You must choose a region before submitting–but you will be able to save or print to a pdf without that. I trust it is similar with the Rhodes application–but harder for me to see the online environment. The issue is, if invited for an interview, you will need to travel to the district you select (based on where you reside or where you study–and these may be different). Happy to discuss the choice with you after nomination.
2. where are the applications accessed? on the specific foundation’s website! see go/fellowships for links if you need them.
Well, can’t recall the third, so am stopping here!
//Here are your instructions:
Submit the following as a SINGLE pdf to fellowships@middlebury.edu:
Your materials are due by 5pm on Monday, September 2. Once I know who is applying, I will send you information about signing up for an interview with the British Scholarship Committee, to take place the week of September 8th (but not on the first day of classes–I assure you!).
Any questions or difficulties or if I’ve overlooked anything, let us know at fellowships@middlebury.edu or by phone 802-443-3026. Please note: Colleen and I will both be out of the office from August 20-26.
If you are applying for the Gates-Cambridge, you do not need to apply for nomination. I am happy to talk with you about your application, provide feedback on essays etc, but you apply directly to that scholarship–see instructions on the Gates-Cambridge website.
//The 2015 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program Solicitation has been published.

//Program Update from Fulbright: The Turkish Fulbright Commission is pleased to announce two awards in honor of the Commission’s 65th anniversary. These two Fulbright awards – one at the Master’s level, one at the Ph.D. – are open to students who wish to pursue a degree program at a Turkish university.
