The best shot of success can be attained by first understanding the qualifications and then determining if you qualify. At the outset identify the reason for involvement of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America Foundation and what they hope to achieve with the Watson Fellowship. Once that is done, verify that there is the possibility to receive the fellowship. If you think that there is a good chance of going on to be a recipient of the Watson Fellowship, then it is worth it to put forth the effort to apply.

A crucial detail in the process of trying for the fellowship is filling out the application correctly. Applications can sometimes be time consuming, but take the time to make sure that you fill out the application correctly and completely. Pay careful attention so that you won't be bumped because of some minor point.

After the required forms have been mailed, figure out the timeframe regarding when the Watson Fellowship confers the award and makes payment of the money so that you can know if you can rely on the fellowship to provide additional support for the expenses associated with school and what assistance it will provide, since there might be constraints on how you can use the Watson Fellowship. Increasingly, it is tough to cover all of your financial needs, and having the additional resources of the Watson Fellowship to defray some of the costs can make things much easier. If you are not fortunate to receive the Watson Fellowship, don't give up, there are other fellowships and you may find success elsewhere.
