How early should students apply for Marshalls scholarships?
We suggest that students apply for the first three rounds of admission to be considered for fellowship. Does that mean that someone who applies to the fourth and fifth round will not get an opportunity to get a fellowship? No. As I mentioned earlier, everyone who’s reviewed for admissions gets reviewed for fellowships. However, we do recommend that you apply early, normally in the first three rounds. [Editor’s note: USC Marshall will have five admissions deadlines for its 1999-’00 application cycle — Nov. 1, Dec. 6, Jan. 10, Feb 7, and Apr. 1. The school’s recommended fellowship date is Jan. 10, 2000.
