Application

To apply, please send an email with the information below to infohsf@yahoo.com. We have two application deadlines: January 31 and March 31 (for the Fellowship class starting June of the same calendar year). We will accept applications for the March deadline only if we do not fill the Fellowship class with applicants who apply by the January deadline. We therefore advise applicants who want to ensure consideration of their application to apply by the January 31 deadline.

**Because we are a very small organization and the selection process so time intensive, it is critical that selected Fellows who accept positions for the Fellowship understand that they are making a commitment to participate in the Fellowship and be prepared to honor their commitments. If you are selected and there is any reason that you might not be able to honor your commitment to participate in the Fellowship, it is critical that you communicate this at the time you decide to accept the position.
