Checklist of Application Materials

A complete application consists of the following items:

the completed online application, a curriculum vitae, an application essay, and two letters of recommendation

The Online Application

Applicants must complete the Folger Institute’s online application and append all the documents requested below by the deadline of 2 March 2015 to be considered eligible.

All applications must be submitted through the online portal. Please complete it as directed by the prompts, but follow the specific guidelines on this page as concerns slightly expanded page length. When you are finished, be sure to click on the “Submit Application” button at the bottom. A confirmation message will be sent to your email address automatically.

Curriculum Vitae

Please include a curriculum vitae (not to exceed four pages).

The Application Essay

The application essay should be no more than 750 words. This essay should include any relevant personal and academic information. It should address your reasons for applying; your interest, both academic and personal, in the topic as it is described in the Project Curriculum; qualifications and experiences that equip you to do the work of the institute and to make a contribution to a learning community; a statement of what you want to accomplish by participating; and the relation of the project to your professional responsibilities. Applicants should also elaborate on the relationship between institute activities and their responsibilities for digital project development and teaching.

Recommendation Letters

The two letters may be from inside or outside the applicant’s home institution. They should be written by scholars, supervisors, or colleagues familiar with the applicant’s professional accomplishments or promise, teaching and/or research interests, and ability to contribute to and benefit from participation in the institute. The letter writers will be provided with access to your application components through the application system itself, but you should feel free to share the institute's curriculum with them.
