Do the odds of winning a Light Fellowship increase (or decrease) if I choose to study abroad for longer periods of time?
While longer immersion abroad is preferable to shorter stays in most respects, we discourage students from applying for longer than a summer before the timing is right to do so. Graduating students (seniors and graduate students), however, must have compelling reasons why they would not apply for a period of at least an academic year. If you are not sure about which term or terms to apply for, you should schedule an appointment to discuss your situation.
