#events&deadlines

Spring tends to be pretty quiet when it comes to applying to fellowships — but there are a few important fellowships to consider! Writing a fellowship is an important exercise for any scientist and winning a fellowship is important for any career. While fellowship applications take time, they provide a great opportunity to put your ideas on paper and help you to write about your work in a clear and concise manner.

Deadlines for a select list of pre- and post-doctoral fellowships are below. We also have a comprehensive list of postdoctoral fellowships. Be sure to check eligibility requirements before applying. And don’t forget to make an appointment with a Communication Fellow for peer-to-peer feedback on your application. Use the CommKit and visit OGE for more resources.
