After filing, you should note when the Kress Curatorial Fellowship confers the award and actually dispenses the resources so that you can know if it is possible to rely on the fellowship to provide additional support for any bills associated with your education and its personal usefulness, since there might be constraints in what can be paid with the Kress Curatorial Fellowship. Increasingly, it is tough to find ways to manage the increasing costs of education, and being awarded the Kress Curatorial Fellowship as a supplement to your own resources is often invaluable. If you don't end up getting the Kress Curatorial Fellowship, keep at it, there are other fellowships that you can hopefully get.
