If you have one project for which you are applying to multiple OFP Yale College Year-long Fellowships, you need to submit only one set of application materials. You are not required or expected to customize your proposal and application materials for each specific fellowship.
If you are intending to apply to multiple OFP Yale College Year-long Fellowships with unique project proposals for each, you must contact OFP prior to the deadline.
It is prohibited to apply twice to the same fellowship with different proposals.
