April 15 Deadline for Fellowships and Senior Work Funding

Lisa Gates / / Fellowships, Graduate School Funding, Study Abroad

April 15 is an important deadline for the following:

  • Senior Work Funding: SRPS/Hoskins applications for rising seniors/super-seniors planning to conduct research over the summer. Others can likely wait until the Oct. 1 deadline. See go/srps .
  • Nomination applications for British and Irish Scholarships (Marshall, Mitchell, Rhodes, Churchill). You must apply by April 15 to be considered for nomination! Applications open to rising seniors and young alumni. See go/fellowships .
  • Preliminary applications for Fulbright and Watson scholarships. Open to rising seniors and alumni (Fulbright only). See go/fellowships .

For these internal fellowship applications, you do not have to have everything thought out; you may not have entirely settled on a particular topic or country. That is fine–the preliminary application just forces you to get started. It is helpful if you’re applying for nomination for a British or Irish scholarship to be as precise as you can regarding your choice of programs and why this program makes sense for your trajectory.

Fulbright and Watson Internal Deadlines Fast Approaching!

Lisa Gates / / Fellowships, Study Abroad, Teaching English Abroad

Applications for Watson nomination are due Thursday, Sept. 17 at noon! See application instructions at go/watson for required materials and format. Selected applicants will be interviewed in late September, exact dates and times TBA.

Fulbright applications are due by end of day on Wednesday, September 23. This must be a complete and polished application, meaning letters of recommendation, affiliation letter (if appropriate), transcripts, language evaluations are also submitted by that date. We have ordered Middlebury transcripts for those applicants we knew about on Sept. 9. We will send you a pdf of your transcript to upload by Sept. 21. You are responsible for uploading transcripts and affiliation letters (if required). You will be able to see whether your recommendations have been submitted or not, but will not be able to see the letters themselves. At some point on September 23, you must click the SUBMIT button on the application. This moves your application from the applicant space to the institutional space, allowing fellowships staff to see your materials. These will be shared with faculty interviewers. You will then select a time for a brief campus interview (we will notify you when that is ready!). The fellowships office will submit your application to Fulbright by their Oct 13 deadline. See go/fulbright for more info.  If you have questions or problems with any materials, please contact fellowships@middlebury.edu.
