Preparing to Apply

Interested applicants should:

• Email fellowships@georgetown.edu to join the center’s listserv; the listserv is how critical information will be shared with potential applicants for the Marshall and Rhodes Scholarships, including about information sessions, due dates, and timelines.
• Spend time reflecting on their academic, co-/extra-curricular, personal, and professional experiences thus far and thinking about how those experiences might inform the issue or issues they hope to study in a funded graduate program.
• Request an advising appointment using this Google Form. Current advising is for applicants who would, if selected for a fellowship, begin their studies in fall 2026.
• Attend workshops and information sessions
• Closely review the Marshall Scholarship and Rhodes Scholarship program websites.
• Closely review the following:
  • Rhodes Scholarship “Legacy, Equity & Inclusion,” Rhodes conditions of tenure, and the Rhodes constituency-specific “Information for Candidates” document available on the respective constituency’s webpages. (See, for example, Rhodes USA, Rhodes Canada, Rhodes China, and Rhodes Kenya.)
  • Marshall Scholarship course search and Marshall one-year (less common) and two-year study options.
