APPLICATION CHECKLIST
Selection Process:
All applications are reviewed by the Program’s Admissions’ Committee. The Committee is composed of faculty and affiliated faculty of the Program— five from the University and five from the Winterthur Museum. Each application is given a holistic review, and the writing sample is a particularly important part of the application. The sample helps readers to understand the applicant’s potential and readiness for graduate study.
Because the Program offers eight competitive Fellowships, there are two rounds of selection.
Round 1: selects semi-finalists (announced by second week of February).
Round 2: Interviews – (conducted on Zoom in early March). To be considered for the Fellowship, all semi-finalists must attend three short interviews with the members of the Program’s Admission’s Committee.
Results: The committee selects eight finalists, plus a number of alternates. Each year we accept a total of eight Fellows who will be offered admission, full tuition scholarship, and a renewable 11-month stipend. Full-time participation over the course of 22 consecutive months, beginning August 1, is expected.
