For the application check-list

Thanks for posting your question everyone! We’ll make sure to address them at the top of the Q&A section.

Does being Caucasian eliminate an applicant?

Are all the fellowships which are posted on the website already all the positions available for this year? Or are there still more being posted?

How many applicants are there for how many positions?

What will the Recommender be sent? Just want to know a little bit so I can notify the person in mind beforehand

By “we are not considering individuals with graduate degrees at this time”, do you mean individuals currently pursuing a graduate degree?

Are applicants only considered for the one position they indicate on their application?

Antarctica Is literally my dream

perfect for introverts...

Aw man

Could you expand more on like what you’re looking for with the application/the be yourself part? Besides “be yourself”

Haha my imposter syndrome…

^ a whole mood

relateable

yay DDCSP!!

I was in the UF chapter! :)

hear hear!!

That’s really neat!

That’s honestly so refreshing to hear lol

^^^

Yeah thank you for being transparent!

Great overview of your experience

for temp. remote positions, do you know if you can stay remote or will we need to relocate

can you get multiple interviews?

Thank you for all of this great information! Is July 15th a hard start date for the fellowship?

someone asked this above, but are applicants only considered for the few positions they write about on the application?

Great thank you!

do people apply more for energy or conservation positions

great, thanks so much!

@crbloomproject !!

Karina, you’re next!

Can I ask my question next?

After Karina

Do you have any racial demographics information (is it spread out evenly?) and other information like first-gen/low-income?

Feel free to email me at lgarza@mwalliance.org with any questions or to set up a chat! Also follow my professional twitter lol @lilligarza

thank you guys!

I would also like a follow at my professional twitter haha @nyaziabey

The website says that applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so does submitting earlier benefit your application?
