Are you curious about nationally competitive postgraduate fellowships, but not sure where to start?

The Fellowships Compass: Crafting Competitive Applications is a four-session workshop series designed to help you go from curiosity to competitiveness. Over four weeks, you'll identify your fellowship fit, articulate your leadership story, draft a compelling personal statement, and develop a realistic application plan through structured activities, feedback, and guided facilitation.

Open to juniors, seniors, and young alumni. Sessions meet weekly via Zoom, 60 minutes each. Can't make every session? Although these workshops are designed for live attendance and interaction, recordings and catch-up materials will be provided when possible. Join us for as many as you can.

In this workshop:

Knowing what to write is only half the equation. Knowing when and how to submit is the other half. In this final session, you'll map out fellowship timelines and deadlines, create a personalized application plan, and develop a strategy for securing strong letters of recommendation. You'll leave with a clear action plan and everything you need to go from 'prepared' to 'submitted'.

This event is a great opportunity to learn more about the Marshall Scholarship, one of the most prestigious awards for graduate study in the United Kingdom. During the summit, you’ll hear about the scholarship’s mission, eligibility, and values, and get clear guidance on each step of the application process. You'll also be joined by Marshall alumni who will share their personal experiences, from applying to living and studying in the UK, and answer your questions about academics, daily life abroad, and making the most of the experience. Whether you’re just starting to explore this opportunity or preparing to apply this year, this session is designed to give you practical insights, helpful tips, and the confidence to take your next steps.

We will be discussing how to make the most of summer research experiences and how to set yourself up for success with a research position next year, all while creating mini terrariums. Open to all -- come learn, connect, and take home a small reminder of the importance of sustainability!
