Hey everyone,Here is the forum for the 2020 GEM Fellowship. I want to contact GEM employers but I have no clue what to write in an email?

Hi IronSeoul, What do you want to contact them about? 

If it's just to make yourself known, maybe it would be best to wait until you've been notified by GEM that you're application has been matched. From the list below on the application statues, it seems like that's when the employer gets your information. That's just my opinion though. Maybe you can ask a fellowship advisor at your university for input on this subject. I got this list from GEM fellowship 2019 forum. 

1. Matched - GEM thinks you're a good candidate and matched you with a company(companies) 
2. Held - A company is reviewing your credentials and is considering an interview extension
3. Release - if you went from Held to Release then the company was looking at you, but decided to pick another scholar. (This can happen after an interview also).
4. Accepted - You got a company sponsor! Congrats!

I attended a college after high school that was not in the drop down menu. Does anyone know if there was an option to add an institution? It's a bit late to add it now, but at least I'll know that I won't get selected because of it and won't be waiting and hoping for an acceptance. I didn't see one when I was filling out the application but now i'm thinking that I might have over looked it. 

Thanks in advance!

My status changed to matched this morning. Has anyone else seen any updates or heard from employers? It seems like the process started relatively quickly last year.

Hey all, does anyone have an idea what to do in my case? I just found out that my recently accepted graduate programme is Gem approved, but the GEM application deadline has passed, and I would already be a semester in before the next app cycle. Is it possible to still apply the next cycle as a grad student? Defer grad acceptance or what? Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi Vitamalt,

Yes, it's possible to apply as a grad student. I'm currently a grad student, and I called to verify before I applied. I was told that as long as we have an entire year left of grad school we can still apply. You can call or email the GEM fellowship directly and ask about your specific situation. Hope this helps!

Hi All, 

 

My status on GEM says matched as well as of 3 days ago. Looking at other forums the status can change frequently. Either way I am hopeful that we all get great outcomes from this.

I am graduating in Spring 2020 and planning to start grad school in Fall 2020, have I missed the application deadline?

Unfortunately, you did. The deadline was on November 15th. You can still apply as a graduate student though! Best of luck!
