Testimonials from previous ProFellow courses & workshops:
“I’m a first-year PhD student, and I have found the ProFellow Member Network to be a tremendous resource! I took the Kickstarter Course and attended one of Vicki Johnson’s live Office Hours sessions. Through these, I have located several opportunities that I believe are within my grasp – as well as targeted insights that I believe will help me to craft high-quality applications. I would highly recommend ProFellow to any doctoral student launching a serious search for fellowships. I know of nothing else on the web quite like it!” – Andrea Smith
“Vicki’s workshop offered great insight for someone in my position: McNair scholar, applying to graduate programs five years after college, first in my family to attend college. The seminar offered knowledge and support that many individuals from my background do not have access to. I would recommend ProFellow to anyone starting on the path to graduate school.”
“Vicki’s Fulbright courses have been incredibly helpful! I have read all that I could on Reddit, Slack, blogs, and elsewhere, and I have also received advice from my alma mater’s Fulbright adviser, but Vicki’s insights, answers, and strategy go above and beyond. I am so impressed. Thank you for offering this service to us, Vicki! It’s really clarified the application process.”
