  • Potential for successful completion

  • Adequacy of the proposal team

  • Adequacy of the facilities

Application

The application should be in the form of a proposal for a graduate level research project from the university outlining what the program or graduate study activity will consist of and how long they will manage the Fellowship. All Fellowship proposals should be formatted as follows:

  • Length: The proposal, with all supporting materials, should not exceed 20 one-sided pages.

  • Title Page: Should list the title, school name, the faculty member(s) submitting the proposal, the name of the students, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. It should also specify the anticipated start date, estimated date of completion, and to whom the funds are to be disbursed.
