The Calendar for Bates College Graduate Fellowship application deadlines is posted below. These are internal (campus) and external (funding agency) deadlines for 2008-2009 competitions pertaining to fellowships sponsored by the Graduate Fellowships Committee.

Bates students with a serious interest in applying for the coming cycle should contact Sagaree Sengupta, Graduate Fellowships Advisor, as soon as possible. Mariah Bumps is also available to discuss your fellowship and post-graduate interests (786-6232 at the Office of Career Services), as well as Professor Lillian Nayder, Chair of the Graduate Fellowships Committee. It is best to inform us of  your intention to apply for an award during the semester prior to the deadline semester! Please be sure to check this site frequently for changes.
