WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN SUBMITTING A SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION?
Preparation. It may seem obvious, but a thoughtful application is most appreciated. You should carefully read the Program guidelines and visit the website (www.switzernetwork.org) to understand as thoroughly as possible the objectives of the Switzer Foundation. Take the time to seek out prior Switzer Fellows who may be on your campus or in your area to ask about their experience. Your written materials, especially your essay, are the primary means by which your application will convey a sense of your aspirations and motivations.
