If you meet the requirements, you should determine if you have the possibility to obtain the fellowship. Upon determining that you have a decent shot of going on to be awarded the Polaire Weissman Fund, then it is useful to put forth the effort to apply.
An important aspect of applying for the fellowship is properly completing the forms. Occasionally the process can be lengthy and tedious, but take the time to make sure that your work was done accurately and completely. Pay careful attention so that you won't lose out because of carelessness.
After the required forms have been mailed, it's important to know when the Polaire Weissman Fund distributes the money so that you can know if you can rely on the fellowship to help meet your financial needs and its personal usefulness, as there may be restrictions on what expenses are covered by the Polaire Weissman Fund.

Even if you don't obtain the Polaire Weissman Fund, keep at it, search for additional fellowships for which you can apply.
