Application Instructions

The Online Application

Citizens & Scholars uses an online portal for its Fellowship applications.  “Apply Now” links will also take you directly to the application for this Fellowship program.

1. Go to the application site. It is recommended that you save the Web page as a bookmark.
2. Create an account by registering and remember to save your username and password where you can easily access it. After creating an account, you will be taken to your personal account page which you can return at any time to edit your personal information, change your password, start and/or complete your application, and submit and/or verify receipt of your supplemental materials.

A completed application consists of the application form, project narrative, information for a proposed community mentor and other required supplemental items. The entire form must be completed, and supplemental items must be uploaded PRIOR to submitting the application.
