In addition, applicants should arrange for two letters of reference. Although the application is due on November 1, we offer a grace period for letters or recommendation. Recommenders must submit their letters via the online portal by November 15, 2023. The application system will automatically request the letters from the references you indicate on your application form, but you should follow up with your references as well.

The application system will automatically request letters from the recommenders you include on your application form, using the email address you provide, but you should follow up with them as well. Please note that our application system requires that the email address your recommender uses to log in match the email address to which we send the letter request. It is the applicant’s responsibility to confirm that our system has the correct email address for your recommender. It is also the applicant’s responsibility to verify that both letters have been submitted before the deadline. If your recommender has difficulty submitting the letter through our application system, please have them email it to us at ejsafrafellowships@fas.harvard.edu.
