Welcome to the first portion of the CAF Fellow Application Process. Applications will be due no later than Friday, December 8th by 11:59PM.
Please note a few things about our application:
A. It is divided into two main sections: (1) basic student information and (2) open-ended questions, which includes a few short-response questions and an essay question.
B. It cannot be saved and returned to once it has been started, so please give yourself adequate time to review the questions in advance and answer them completely. We also suggest that you type your responses on a separate document first in the event that you face any technical problems.
A detailed position description can be found below. If you experience any difficulties completing our application, feel free to email the Education and Outreach Program Coordinator, Jes Norman at
