Applying for competitive fellowships and scholarships may seem like a daunting task. However, these awards are not out of reach for good and dedicated students who are willing to put forth the time and effort required to make their applications truly competitive. This requires brainstorming with faculty about feasible projects, self-reflection about who they are and what they really want to do, researching the topic, and the inevitable stream of re-writes.
