·  Please review the eligibility requirements and application instructions of fellowships/scholarships very carefully. Our meeting time will be tailored to your specific goals and interests. Thus, it is your responsibility to be aware of basic information and deadlines of the various fellowships before our meeting. I am, of course, more than happy to address more nuanced questions that are not evident from the fellowships and foundation websites.
