What
year are you in school? Junior
What Fellowship did you get and what does it
involve? I received the International
Institute for Public Policy
Fellowship. It involves multiple paid "summer institutes",
funding for study
abroad, an internship component, and up to 15,000 dollars towards a
graduate
school of my choice.
What motivated you
to apply for a Fellowship?

What was the hardest part of the Fellowship
application process?
Deciding to apply for it was stressful. Figuring
out what I wanted to write my essays on
was worrying. The multiple "first"
drafts I had to write for each essay was taxing. The
phone interview was
nerve-racking and traumatic. The process overall was tense, and
hectic, and
demanding...but you get through it.
What
was the most rewarding part of the Fellowship applying process? I got a
lot out of
the overall experience. Learning how to apply to such large
program and manage all of the
small details that go into the application
process was really beneficial for me. Of
course, finding out that I had got
in to the program was a pretty rewarding experience
too!
Do you have any advice for people
applying?
You may be hesitant to apply because you think you wont get
it --Don't let that be your
reasoning for not applying. You may be
overwhelmed by the application process but don't give up on it.
