Applications must be sent to Grinnell College which acts as the operational center for the consortium. After the November 15 deadline, Grinnell College sends all applications, regardless of institutional preferences of candidates, to each of the 23 consortial member institutions. Each consortial institution handles the selection process in accordance with their own internal selection processes. Candidates wishing information about the status of their application need to contact the designated person on each campus. Once an applicant has accepted a fellowship at a member institution, his or her name will be posted on the CSMP web page.
Applicants are responsible for compiling all application materials.
