Evaluation of Applications

• It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the application is complete and all reference letters and transcripts have been received.
  
• After an application is complete, it is submitted along with all other complete applications to a review panel. The review panel is made up of university, federal laboratory, and private and government sector personnel who are directly responsible for instruction and research in the area of computational science. The panel reviews each application and recommends award recipients to Krell. Applications are reviewed on the basis of grades, courses taken, research statements, and references. The Program of Study submitted with the application is carefully scrutinized for breadth and consistency with the goals of the fellowship program.
  
• The number of awards given each year is dependent on the funding available. Some applicants may be placed on a waiting list for a possible award should additional funding become available.
  
• The Krell Institute will notify applicants of their award status by mid-April. Once fellowships are awarded, the Krell Institute handles the administration of the fellowship for the DOE. During the fellowship tenure, questions about stipends, payment of tuition and fees, practicum assignments, travel, etc. should be referred to the DOE CSGF program at Krell Institute.
