This a free resource for you to understand and review general statistics about these national fellowships. My team and I have compiled important statistics that can help you develop a strategy that can help you increase your chances of becoming more competitive.

I currently have a comprehensive National Fellowship Application Guide that is close to completion and on pre-sale here:

Winning a Rhodes Scholarship, Schwarzman, Mitchell, Marshall, Gates Cambridge, Luce, Fulbright, among others, can be a life-changing experience for students, recent graduates, and young professionals. You become a member of a cohort of other impressive, interesting, and intellectual people, and your network will expand dramatically. The scholarship/fellowship year itself is an unforgettable experience that allows you to explore new cultures, countries, and people. Winning national fellowships can also increase your chance to obtain a blue chip job and/or gain admittance to elite graduate school programs after your scholarship year. A fellowship year may be the single most important and impactful experience you could have in your life, so far.

I'm YJ (Yongjun) Heo, and I was awarded three national fellowships (Fulbright, Luce Scholars Program, and George Mitchell Scholarship). I have advised dozens of national fellowship winners over the last decade, including my younger brother, who was a Schwarzman Scholar. I have directly helped students and recent graduates win the Rhodes, Mitchell, Marshall, Fulbright, Schwarzman, Gates Cambridge, Luce, Rangel, Watson, and others. As a product designer, I created and maintain the application system for a well-known national fellowship. Hundreds of college students and recent graduates have asked me for resources to help them apply, and I'm consolidating and sharing as much as I can here and on nationalfellowship.com and nationalfellowships.com. By coincidence, life circumstances, and direct experiences, I believe I know more about these programs than almost anyone else, and I want you to learn everything that I have learned here.

*disclaimer: I'm a designer-entrepreneur who also runs MWDL, a web design and product development company (https://midwestdesignlab.com). MWDL built and manages the George Mitchell Scholarship application system. I do not assess, select, or weigh in on any application. This documentation or any advice that I offer does not guarantee your winning a national fellowship. However, I believe that the mere act of going through the process will help you develop a plan for the next steps in your life, which can ultimately be helpful.
