Apply for a Royce Fellowship
With as many as 120 quality applications received each year for only twenty-five available fellowships, competition for selection to the program is certainly rigorous. Much more important than the number of applicants in a given year, however, is the investment of time and energy each application represents. The materials in this section described below are intended to assist potential applicants in the planning and writing process. If you are considering submitting an application, we hope you will spend some time with these materials. If you have questions that are not addressed on these pages, please do not hesitate to contact us at your convenience.
For a firsthand perspective on the development of project ideas and proposal narratives, the fellowship overview is a good first stop. Here, past and current fellows reflect on their application experience and the strategies that ultimately worked for them. In the fall of each academic year, these reflections are expanded on through the Fellowship Fair andduring fellowship writing workshops. Click here for more details.
Once you have decided to apply, In Detail will provide a discussion of eligibility requirements and a breakdown of each component of the application. Frequently asked questions about all Swearer Center fellowships, as well as additional funding information are addressed on the Swearer Center website. Finally, the application itself can be downloaded.
