A good source of information on prospective programs would be your faculty mentors and the Marshall Scholarship site, which lists several useful links. Once you have narrowed down potential graduate programs, begin researching the programs and their faculty in detail. Find recent publications by the faculty on these programs, find recent graduates of the programs, and reach out to the faculty members if you have questions about how your academic and research interests fit their programs.
Seeking out ASU graduates who have applied for these awards or attended these programs is insightful. As early as possible, you should identify potential recommenders. Prior to the April 1 deadline below, you should meet with your potential recommenders to ask them if they would be willing to write a letter on your behalf, should you progress in the application process NB: the letters need not be submitted by April The Marshall and Mitchell require four letters each and the Rhodes requires five to eight.
At least four of the Rhodes and two of the Marshall letters must be from people who taught you as an undergraduate. This application is available via the ONSA website. Within a week of the deadline, selected candidates will be invited to join the program. In preparation for the final selection of the ASU nominees in mid-August, you will draft, revise, and edit your application materials under the guidance of ONSA advisors and your faculty mentors.
Approximately four weeks before the nomination deadline, applicants will need to formally ask for letters of recommendation and work with their referees to ensure that their letters of recommendation are submitted. In September, applicants who complete the nomination process will be invited to participate in a selection interview with the ASU nomination committee. Students who are nominated to the Rhodes, Marshall, or Mitchell Scholarships will work with ONSA to finalize and submit their applications prior to the October deadlines.
