Important Dates, 2024-25
Fall Term, 2025
Important: Fellowship and Conference deadlines are solid!
You may remember that for several years, CURL offered soft deadlines followed by extended deadlines across the board for applications to our Fellowships and conferences. These extensions were made to support students who were struggling to organize their work during the stress of the 2020-21 lockdowns and a much-needed “recovery period” afterward. As many students have found their footing again, we have received feedback that these program-wide deadline extensions have become more confusing than helpful. Therefore, all of our public deadlines are now solid—please do not expect us to announce extensions! We may still be able to accommodate individual extensions on a case-by-case basis.
