This program is open only to Smith College students and alumnae
who have already made an attempt to self-qualify their eligibility
to enter the fellowship foundation competitions for which
they are hereby registering to enter through Smith, and or,
with mentoring guidance from Smith.
Download a copy of the
Program Registration Form and complete
a separate form for each fellowship for which you are applying to
enter the Smith Fellowships Program. If accepted,
you will be emailed a username and password that will give
you access to the Program
Participant section of this site reserved for those deemed
eligible by foundation criteria and Smith standards to enter
specific fellowship competitions.
Answer all applicable questions with as much detail as needed
to convey a good sense of your situation. Make your answers long enough to impart the general idea. If you don’t know
or are not sure, say so, and give reasons if you can. Partial
forms are acceptable to get the process going and are encouraged
when struggling to formulate a proposal, as a means of obtaining
guidance. Give us some of your ideas to work with so we can
help you. Your answers will form the basis for answers in
the fellowship applications themselves. Every question has
a useful reason behind it, as will be discovered as the process
unfolds.
Complete the form as a Word document and email it together with
your resume and transcript all attached to the same email to
dandrew@email.smith.edu. Send separate emails with all three
registration documents attached to each email for every fellowship
for which you are applying.
Only if your computer
cannot handle this task, copy the form into an email message
and complete it.
Enter your information in plain light text (not bold) upper & lower case (not all caps). Leave the questions in bold. Do not use semi-colons. You will also be judged according to your ability to follow these simple “detail” instructions to the letter, just as you will be when it comes to completing a fellowship application. This is the beginning of a serious bid for a high award and while the big picture is supreme, it needs to be supported by evidence of care and high personal standards of self-representation.
Keep a copy of this form for your records. When completing
the fellowship application itself, always keep a copy on disc
or CD or in remote storage. Do not save on your desktop alone.
Each Smith Fellowships Program Registration form (one for each fellowship for
which you are applying) must returned with:
- An up-to-date "fellowships" resume. Click on Resume Guide for directions on
compiling the kind of comprehensive resume required for fellowships.
- Banner versions of your latest Smith transcript and, for the Beinecke ONLY,
specific financial-aid statements. Click on Transcript
Transmission for instructions on how to extract and send transcripts and, if
required, the
financial-aid information. If you do not have access to Banner, order a transcript from the Registrar, scan it into a Word doc, or reproduce it by alternate means into a file that can be attached to an email, and send it to Donald Andrew with your other Registration documents.
Since 1995, all transcripts have been recorded on Banner, which is now accessible only with a 99# + PIN. These new ID #'s were introduced around 2003. If you graduated before 2003 you will not have access to Banner and will have to obtain a paper copy of your transcript from the Registrar.
If you are unable to submit your transcript to me electronically, let me know why and we will see what we can do.
Send separate emails with all three registration documents attached to each email for
every fellowship for which you are applying.
DO NOT SEND DOCUMENTS ON SEPARATE EMAILS. To register, all three documents must be on one email.
