Must an applicant attend an Ivy League school to be awarded a Blakemore Fellowship?
We have awarded fellowships to individuals with degrees from a wide variety of schools. While the greatest number of grants have gone to students from institutions with extensive Asian language programs or large numbers of extremely bright students, the institution is less important than the applicant. Depending upon funding available to us, we are only able to make grants to 6%-10% of qualified applicants. Blakemore grants are very competitive, but superior candidates from all institutions are encouraged to apply.
