Zahar Berkut Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 This is a bit of a niche topic, first because it's primarily polisci and IR types who look into this, and secondly because it's a tiny competition-- meaning maybe two dozen people get interviews before the final 10-ish are chosen. But has anyone here gone through it before? Want to offer any words of wisdom to hopefuls? University nominations are done, of course, and everyone will just be sitting for interview notifications at the end of February.
Horb Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 What I've heard is do not apply for the Democracy option if you want any chance at winning.
Elvidi Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 That's what I've heard too ... But it's the only one I'm really qualified for so I'm trying to decide if it's worth putting in the effort for the application ...
Horb Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 It is always worth the effort! You can re-use the app for cover letters, grad school proposals, or other grants you apply to. It also is a great way to learn how to write for a grant audience, a skill that will be useful your senior year if you apply for Fulbright or something like that.
