“My journey to earning a Master’s degree has been two years in the making. At every turn, ProFellow’s incredible scholarship database and cache of helpful articles provided the support I needed to turn my dreams into reality. What I appreciate most about the ProFellow platform is its open accessibility and strong stance against academic gatekeeping. Thanks to ProFellow, I honed the skills I needed to write successful scholarship and graduate school applications and am now a Master’s candidate at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, Italy and a recipient of the James Beard Foundation National Scholars Award! Thank you ProFellow for being an essential part of my academic career!”
Kavita Malstead, James Beard Foundation National Scholars Awardee
“As a Pakistani student and the first in my family to go to university, I have always had to work extra hard to figure out opportunities for my scholarly and professional growth. ProFellow has been an excellent and easy-to-use resource that has given me clear and helpful information on funding opportunities. I wanted to pursue a DPhil (PhD) from the University of Oxford, and when I was admitted into their programme, I was ecstatic. However, I still needed to figure out funding sources for my education. It is thanks to ProFellow that I first found out about the Humane Studies Fellowship and all the details on their requirements. This information was the foundation for my own application to the fellowship and I am happy to report that I am now a Humane Studies Fellow for 2022!”
I discovered ProFellow when I was in the middle of my MBA application process. When I was working through personal statements and recommendation letters, ProFellow provided insightful advice and content that helped to make my application centered around my goals + aspirations post-MBA and helped me get into grad school successfully.”
Eliana Lozano, MBA Candidate at University of Michigan, Ross School of Business
“Through a combination of various ProFellow articles, paid workshops, and free seminars, I have been able to pursue work that aligns with my passions within a very short period of time. ProFellow’s resources are both general (such as resume preparation) or specific to particular opportunities. Many webinars for specific fellowships are offered entirely free of charge, and I have never been disappointed with the quality of the paid workshops I have attended…ProFellow’s programs and materials are truly an investment in one’s self!”
“ProFellow has been a great source of tips and advices on how to come up with a competitive fellowship application. I have followed them in my fellowship applications and because of that I was successful in getting the Humboldt Fellowship offered by Germany.”
I discovered Profellow while looking for fellowships abroad for public policy. While I did not get exactly what I wanted, I did discover the free masterclass from Dr. Johnson which gave my thinking a lot more structure in terms of applications I keep sending here and there. I ended up sending a letter to my university to give me a waiver under their existing scholarship scheme to receive a 75% waiver for tuition and boarding which has made my grad school journey quite smooth.
Debraj Nath Gupta
“I am a 57-year-old writer, emerging from an extended period out of the workplace when I was a stay-at-home dad for my two children. I thought there would be few fellowship opportunities for those like me lacking an affiliation with an educational institution, but in 2019, I received a fellowship from the International Youth Library (IYL) in Munich, Germany, to do research for a biography I am writing. Vicki Johnson encouraged me to look for other opportunities, and I have since received a second fellowship from the IYL and am applying to other fellowships I have discovered on ProFellow. If you have the desire, no age is too old!”
David Gross Jacobson, International Youth Library (2019, 2021)
ProFellow helped me to find and win a fellowship with E2, enabling me to work with regenerative farmers and ranchers for a year. The fellowship was like a bootcamp, after which I worked with two of the ranchers to write a $2M USDA grant proposal. We won it, I quit my dayjob, and now we’re running a 3-year dream project in the High Plains of CO, KS, and NE.
Lauren Hafford, E2 1Hotels Fellow
“I am a senior professor and have received several fellowships during my career, and nonetheless I still have gained a lot from being part of the ProFellow community! The database is an incredible resource for looking for funding for my research interests. I recently applied to and was awarded an American Councils Title VIII Research Scholar Program fellowship to conduct summer research in Romania, which is an opportunity I would have never known about without ProFellow. I often direct my junior colleagues and my graduate students to this valuable resource. I recommend it to people at all stages in their careers!”
Shawn Flanigan, American Councils Title VIII Research Scholar Program Fellow, 2021-2022 (COVID permitting)
“A big thank you to ProFellow for consistently sharing new and interesting fellowship opportunities. Thanks to ProFellow, I have been able to submit successful applications to several Fellowship programs, such as the Asian University for Women Senior Fellowship Program in Bangladesh, the William J. Clinton Fellowship for Service in India with the American India Foundation, two English Language Fellowships with the U.S. Department of State, and one Non-Resident Fellowship with the Turkish Heritage Organization. These programs really changed by life, and I am still going strong with an application in for the Fulbright Scholar Program. Thank you, ProFellow, for all that you do! You are amazing!”
“Over four years I have been in this wonderful platform of ProFellow to grab international opportunities and awards, learn about testimonials from others, and read amazing articles. In 2019, I was selected for the Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement program and spent my 7-week fellowship in Montana, US. I also won the I.E.C. Awards organized by International Innovative Future Education Summit and Awards. I continued exploring more opportunities, and this year I applied for 4YOU2 English fellowship in Brazil and have made it through my two Interviews. Now I am in the final stage, waiting for the program to begin in January 2022.”
Mahamba Ebastian Ihonde, Fulbright TEA Fellowship, I.E.C. Award, 4YOU2 English fellowship in Brazil (onboarding)
“While I was exploring my actual myself, I got to know about ProFellow. With passion and persistence, ProFellow channeled my passion into answers that allowed the selecting committee to see my dedication. When I was selected for the US Legislative Fellowship in 2016, I felt a sense of unity with like-minded people during the fellowship. I am sure that through Profellow, one will certainly be able to find answers to unexplored questions.”
Umer Iqbal, US Legislative Fellow
I entered a Ph.D. program that wasn’t funded, but with the foundational guidance of Vicki Johnson and the Fully Funded course, I have been able to secure two fellowships, providing more than $25,000 in funding! I will continue to utilize the resources taught throughout the course of my research journey.

“I have always dedicated myself to, and loved, hands-on learning, despite it not often loving me back (with barriers ranging from health to an actual 7.7mW earthquake followed by a city-wide riot impeding my education). Despite–maybe even because of–it, I wanted to continue learning formally, until I was sated, without it putting me in deep debt. During my research process, I discovered Profellow and through it found a mindset that helped validate and support my own ideas regarding making education accessible and removing gatekeeping in the process. Through the confidence imbued in part by the resources within Profellow, I applied to, and was awarded, the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degree in Smart Cities and Communities program on a full scholarship. I now recommend Profellow to every applicant I meet as I truly believe that its wealth of information–which is easily filterable and searchable–is a must-have in every future scholar’s toolkit.”
Deeksha Singh Vijay Singh, India, Erasmus Mundus Smart Cities and Communities Scholar to the UK, Greece and Spain
“Profellow made me discover a gold mine of the best graduate school and interest-tailored opportunities I never knew existed. I was overwhelmed with the several scholarship requirements, but with their advice on how to submit winning applications to attract scholarships and fellowships, I become even more confident about my graduate school applications and have already tendered in a few for admissions next year. The best part about ProFellow is that all the opportunities and advice are all, in one place which makes the website easy to navigate. And as if that is not enough, all the opportunities have attached links for further research or saving!”
Vincent Otmar
“I cannot thank ProFellow enough! I wondered what scholarship committees want from the applicants for a long time. After reading articles of ProFellow on how to make a powerful application, I discovered a tip that made my long-term ambitions achieved: to add urgency in your application. By telling the urgency of what I wanted to study, I am 1 of 2 who won a scholarship among plus 200 applicants. It was a complicated and hard adventure to study in Europe from Rwanda.”
Josaphat Rutaganda
“ProFellow was a tremendous resource when I was looking for a professional fellowship–seeking career advancement and adventure. Through the database, I found the Alaska Fellows Program, and was selected as the Entrepreneurship and Research Fellow in the 2019-2020 cohort. This fellowship was an incredible experience, both personally and professionally, and following the program, I stayed in Alaska working full-time at my host organization. ProFellow and the Fully Funded Course have also been instrumental in my search for graduate programs. Two years ago, I was accepted to four master’s programs with no scholarship or funding, and I decided not to go. The Fully Funded Course taught me how to identify fully funded programs and craft strong, memorable applications that stand out to a selection committee. In fact, less than an hour before I sat down to write this, I received my first offer of graduate acceptance with a full funding package. Without the guidance and resources of Profellow and Fully Funded, I would never have known how to find and competitively apply for this opportunity.”
Julie Gardella, Alaska Fellows Program, Entrepreneurship and Research Fellow (2019-2020) and University of Massachusetts Amherst MBA program, Fall 2022
“Dr. Johnson encouraged me to be proactive and persistent in pursuing funding opportunities. Thanks to ProFellow’s training and coaching, I have funded my entire doctoral program through two graduate assistantships and fifteen competitive scholarships, and will be graduating debt-free. In addition, I was selected by the prestigious Urban Leaders Fellowship program, a fellowship that ProFellow shared with me, which will increase my professional skills set and prospects for my post-graduation career. Thank you, Dr. Johnson!”

It was like I was in the dark trying to figure out how best to gain entrance into graduate studies in most schools in the UK, Canada, and America. I never did understand what I was doing until I found ProFellow, and the narrative changed. Through ProFellow’s seasoned mentorship, I got mastery of the secret of getting a fully-funded scholarship into graduate studies. Currently, I am applying for other opportunities which I discovered through ProFellow. It has been amazing working with ProFellow, and I will always recommend ProFellow for my mentees so that they can also enjoy the same thing I am enjoying.

ProFellow provides an easy-to-access, aggregated site for everything I need related to post-graduate fellowships (and more!). More importantly, Founder Vicki Johnson has provided me with mentorship in my decision to not pursue another fellowship or degree at this time. She has been compassionate and supportive as I often struggle with focus because of ADD. I used her advice to create a social enterprise in Rwanda aimed at reducing economic inequalities by providing educational resources.

Dr. Vicki Johnson and her team are amazing. I did an interview with the team in 2020, and I must say I am highly impressed by their teamwork spirit. Friendly, helpful, and very open-minded. Since my last engagement, with the team, the platform has been my to-go area for learning and sourcing opportunities. Incroyable!
Busang Maruping, Atlas Corps Fellow
For over 3 years now I have consistently tried looking for opportunities abroad to further my master’s program but to no avail, until I came across Profellow through my usual internet search somewhere in October 2021. Reading on their subject, Fully Funded Master’s Programs in Religion and Theology, I resolved to apply to almost all of them to see which will pick me. On October 26th, I applied to one of them, Drew University, and I have already gotten the offer with an 80% scholarship for my Master of Divinity program. I say this to the glory of God and also to inspire Profellow to continue with their good works of guiding and informing the generations of the opportunities available. Remember your own credit of blessings from any soul this program will equip me to touch, inspire and transform in the nearest future.
