EVALUATING THE FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY

When reviewing possible fellowship sources, consider the following questions:

• Is a resident or nonresident fellowship more suitable for your research purposes?

• Will the amount of the award cover your expenses for the award period? If not, have you found alternative funding sources?

• Have you allowed for travel expenses (if applicable)?

• Are you eligible for the fellowship?

• Can you meet other criteria required by the funding agency?

• Can your research be completed during the length of the fellowship?
