Summer Application Workshop

To participate in the 2025 Summer Application Workshop, your graduation date must be December 2026 or earlier

The Office of Fellowships hosts the Summer Application Workshop as a way of supporting the Fulbright and UK Award (Marshall, Rhodes, Churchill) applicants. Over the course of the summer, we provide weekly Zoom workshop, draft essay review, newsletters, a specific Canvas site, and office hours (day and evening hours) to support applicants. We will cover everything from identifying which awards are right for you to how best to respond to specific essay prompts. Due to the high volume of applicants, this Summer Application Workshop is exclusively for applicants who will be applying in the year that they participate. Don't worry, if you are going to apply next year, we'd love to have you join us then!

As part of your participation, you'll be signed up to receive a digital newsletter that will help keep you informed and on track throughout the summer! We'll also add you to our summer workshop Canvas page. 

The Summer Application Workshops focus on a few specific fellowships: Fulbright (ETA and Study/Research) and the Churchill, Marshall, and Rhodes (collectively referred to as the "UK Awards"). Though we focus on these four awards given their popularity and applicant numbers, we also work with applicants on those fellowships whose timeline coincides (including Schwarzman and Knight-Hennessy). 

Below are links to each of the pages on our website to read more about the Fulbright and UK awards:

For the current application cycle, the First Step Form is no longer accessible, please fill out the intake form instead, thank you!

For applicants who want to get a head start, they can participate in the First Step Process. This requires submission of a First Step Form prior to May 1st of the year that you intend to apply. Don't fret though! If you don't make the deadline, you are still able to participate in all of the Summer Application Workshop activities. The First Step Process is not required, though it can certainly be helpful. If interested, read more here!
