You should always spend time looking into the background of the fellowship. The best shot of achieving your goal will follow from finding out the requirements from the start and then determining if you qualify. Prior to starting, seek to understand the particular aims of the Smithsonian Institution Marine Station at Fort Pierce and their reason for offering the Postdoctoral Fellowship I. If you meet the requirements, verify that you have the possibility of being awarded the fellowship. If you think that there is a good chance of actually being one of the winners of the Postdoctoral Fellowship I, then it is useful to fill out an application.
A crucial part of working toward obtaining the fellowship is filling out the application correctly. Occasionally the process can be long and boring, but you shouldn't underestimate how important it is that the forms are filled out accurately and completely. Use caution to insure that you will not get passed over as the result of something that could have been avoided.
Once the application is sent off, you should note when the Postdoctoral Fellowship I chooses a winner and makes payment of the money in order to stay informed about if you will be able to count on the fellowship to help meet any bills associated with your education and what assistance it will provide, as there may be restrictions in what can be paid with the Postdoctoral Fellowship I. Recently it has become more burdensome to cover the expenses associated with school, and having the additional resources of the Postdoctoral Fellowship I to defray some of the costs can be a huge help. Even if you don't obtain the Postdoctoral Fellowship I, keep at it, there will be alternative fellowships for which you can apply.
