Update on the Jacob J. Javitz Fellowship for Graduate Students

Hi everyone,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but....if anyone is applying for JACOB J. JAVITZ fellowship this year, an astute Mira's List fan just informed me that the program was closed by Congress this year and they don't know when it will reopen again. And for some reason, they are not posting about the closing on their site and apparently will not email you in writing about it. You have to call them to hear about it over the phone. This is unfortunate because this fellowship is a great one for those of you applying for MFA programs in the arts. But things do change year to year so check back on their website next season. In the meantime, you should know about this and maybe call their office to double check about the status of the fellowship or just not waste your time applying for the Sept. 30th deadline this fall.
