HOW TO WIN TEACHING FELLOW SHIPS AND PRIZES

Competition for teaching fellowships is tougher. Winning means that you have successfully competed with many other outstanding students of your generation. It can open doors to great jobs in practice and the academy.

You need to remember that different fellowships have different portfolio requirements but are usually very specific about quantity and format of the work, so in general do not try to bend the rules. Instead, your editing and your message have to be carefully thought through so that the attention of your audience (the jury) is captured immediately.

Once you have made it through the first round (where work is usually eliminated fairly quickly) your projects will need to stand closer scrutiny. The project pages will need to be well-composed, the project will need to be well-described and the design will need to be consistently outstanding.
