Fellowships and Scholarships: Databases, Contacts and Related Information

Most fellowship programs have deadlines between October and January, but each one varies. Applying takes a minimum of several weeks (to request letters of recommendation, write personal statements, etc) and some take months. Plan accordingly and reach out to my office as early as possible in the application cycle so we can begin discussion and preparation on early drafts of your application.  Please note that while each award has its own specific deadline/due date for their application submission, Ramapo has its own institutional deadline for each and should be at least a month in advance of the national deadline.  This allows my office to have sufficient time to thoroughly review all the materials and documents for each applicant and provide any meaningful and substantive suggestions on making necessary revisions/edits.
