Applicants

Ultimately, each fellowship is searching for the same person, someone who will add luster to their histories.  It is crucial to remember that none of these fellowships actually produces anything. They enable, by funding, but they do not create or train.  This means that they can't look for raw potential. They can only guarantee the return on their considerable investment by choosing people who have already demonstrated outstanding and unique achievement. They are searching for those individuals who have already achieved at such a high a level that there can be little doubt that they are going on to lifetimes of national influence and outstanding accomplishment.

Alumni:

You may be looking at these opportunities after a few years out of school.  The majority of these fellowships do accept alumni applications but it is your responsibility to make sure you meet the various age qualifications. Alums regularly apply for the Fulbright and Luce scholarships for example, though if you meet the requirements, they are by no means the only opportunities available.
