>Those who are preparing a fellowship application, here are some tips:
>
>- Do a draft of your proposal as early as possible.
>
>-Working on a number of drafts and seeking advice does result in a 
>more polished proposal.
>
>- Consult advisors and trusted peers at various stages in the process.
>
>- Give as much advance notification to your recommenders as 
>possible, with sufficiently clear instructions as to deadline and 
>destination.
>
>** Even if you have applied for any of the above/other fellowships 
>in the past and have failed to win one, you have a chance of winning 
>on the second try.
>
>Good Luck.
