Please note that each file must be smaller than 250 MB and ***all of your attachments must be uploaded at once*** to qualify as a complete application. If you haven't already, visit https://www.pgsfellowship.org/apply and read that page carefully. It tells you everything you need to know to prepare your application.

Please read through our list of hosts carefully, and remember that not all host companies offer all types of jobs (e.g. the only opening we have at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is in Public Communications, so if you only want to work in a Science or Engineering Job, don't say you prefer to work at NASA Goddard!)

Scheduling a Time for Your Video Submission

Shortly after our application window closes, we’ll be reaching out to everyone who submitted their application and giving them asking them each to respond to one more prompt. Rather than another written essay, we’ll ask you to respond in the form of a brief video — with no special video editing equipment required. This is designed to be a quick task that doesn’t take you much time — no more than an hour total. This will help us see how you think on your feet and how you deal with changing situations. Please select only days where you are confident you will have access to your email and to a good internet connection, plus a bit of spare time to film your response. If you know in advance that you cannot be available at all during that window, please let us know, and we'll try our best to make a special exception and schedule time with you on November 19 - 22. Both to preserve fairness and to allow us to efficiently review all applications, we will require that you tell us that in advance, and only very limited options can be made available!
