From Application to Opportunity: How Fellowships Shape Your Path

Applying for a fellowship is about more than just winning an award—it’s an opportunity for growth. Whether or not you receive an award, the application process itself helps you develop valuable skills that will benefit you in your academic and professional journey. In this session with Critical Language Scholarship Program Director (and Pomona alumna!) Becca AbuRakia-Einhorn, we’ll explore how fellowship applications encourage personal and professional self-assessment, expand your network, strengthen your writing skills, and prepare you for future opportunities. Learn how embracing the application process can set you up for success, no matter the outcome!
