Just how early should folks apply for fellowships?
We recommend that you have the Michigan scholarship and financial-aid form (that’s rolled in as part of the application) in to us by Mar. 1 because we do a lot of our awards in the early spring. By about this time, we’ve for the most part been offering the majority of our awards. So folks applying in the later decision periods really should still get their scholarship information in. From a federal standpoint, I’ve been told you can apply basically at any time. But it behooves you to get it all done by Mar. 1.
