Application Instructions

 

Step One:

Start the online application. You will be charged a $50 application fee for each completed application form. The fee will be charged to your student account. 

 

Step Two:

After completing the previous section, you will be assigned an application checklist of required application materials (note that the system can take a few minutes to refresh, so if you don't see your checklist immediately, check back later). All required items must be uploaded by the application deadline. Check the program webpage for the specific deadline date and time. 


You will have the opportunity to rank up to two back-up programs that you would like to be considered for. Please note you will only be considered for CGI programs from the same application cycle/term.


Your application will be considered complete once all required items are submitted. Please note that fellowships are reviewed on the same cycle as the program application, so it is in your best interest to complete your fellowship essay at the same time as the program application!
