Prestigious Fellowships: From Exploration to Amazing Application
This packing includes 5 live consultations, plus an additional 8-10 hours of asynchronous review and feedback on your materials and interview preparation. Meetings are structured as follows: 1. Exploring your "why." This initial session will provide review your candidacy profile, fellowships you are considering, and an assessment of your candidacy strengths, and discussion of next steps. 2. Once you've selected a fellowship, we will review the application process, specific components, discuss letters of recommendation, develop a work timeline for you and discuss how to approach writing. 3. Initial essay/personal statement feedback session. 4. Follow-up essay/personal statement feedback session. 5. Final steps, loose ends, and interview preparation. (For competitions that prohibit essay feedback, see reduced package option.)

I have worked at colleges and universities my entire career, advising, teaching, and supporting young adults as they figure out their post-graduate pathways and the opportunities--fellowships, graduate programs--that help them get there. Understanding and articulating your goals and objectives is powerful stuff! For myself, I've had to navigate this on my own and appreciate that having mentoring and coaching makes a real difference!
