Dear Tim,
Thank you so much for this amazing post, also the writing style is awesome. This way you're helping undergrads like me to find more info about fellowships and how they can apply for them.
I like this Tim! You should make sure to leave this available for next year, as I plan on applying for my own training grants next year.
