Dear ProFellow readers,
It’s been a very challenging year, but I’m pleased to share a few bright spots from this year. ProFellow’s social mission is to share the abundance of funding opportunities for emerging and mid-career leaders, scholars and graduate students globally. This year in particular we focused our content on opportunities for minorities and fellowships in social justice, stories of fellows from underrepresented groups, and fully funded PhD and master’s programs. It’s my privilege to share with you our very best and most popular content of 2020!
Starting with:
The Top 10 Fellowships of 2020: ProFellow’s member base now tops 157,000 database users! This Top 10 list highlights the most popular fellowships of 2020 based on the number of times they’ve been favorited by our users. Congrats to those who made the list!
The 10 Trendiest Fellowships of 2020: By comparing the total number of new favorites by our users in 2019 to that of 2020, we also identified the top 10 trendiest programs this year. Congrats to those who made the list!
Top 10 Summer Fellowships of 2021 (there’s still time to apply!): This year’s list shines a spotlight on summer fellowships that are actively recruiting students and professionals of color and other underrepresented groups such as veterans, immigrants and first-generation college students.
We also produced some new resources:
Fully Funded course and mentorship program: This year, I opened enrollment for my new in-depth online course and mentorship program for graduate school and fellowship applications, which teaches you how to find fully funded master’s and PhD programs in your discipline and my award-winning application strategies for personal statements, research proposals, CV development and more. Stay tuned – enrollment will be open again in January!
