For electronic submission of fellowship and grant applications:

** Please pay special attention because the submission interface has changed significantly starting Fall 2008**

Each department or program should have a designated person who submits the fellowship/grant pdf files through the web interface.  This would normally be the Chair, Director of Graduate Studies or Program Assistant.  This person should contact TGS IT of The Graduate School, for access to the system or for other technical related questions (tgs-it@northwestern.edu ).  For other questions, please contact Lesley Perry (847/491-7332, l-perry2@northwestern.edu).

1. Select appropriate fellowship/grant competition
