HOW IMPORTANT IS FINANCIAL NEED IN DETERMINING FELLOWSHIP AWARDS?
This is NOT a need-based award. No candidate is screened out based on his/her financial circumstances. However, financial need can be a factor considered by the final selection committee, particularly in situations where candidates are equally qualified. If you feel your financial situation is a major factor in your ability to complete your studies, you should provide a narrative explaining your financial need, citing specifics if necessary. We rely on your honesty in providing us with this information.
