Application forms for the Fellowship year September 2010 - June 2011
are now available from the links below. Applications, letters of
recommendation, and supplemental materials are due January 4, 2010 for
a Fellowship beginning September 2010. Please read the instructions
carefully and feel free to contact the Fellowship office with any
questions you have about the process.


Application Forms
Forms are downloadable Word Documents which you can type information
onto from Word or print out.

Who Should Apply
Loeb Fellows are accomplished, mid-career professionals who have been
engaged in their field for a minimum of five years, have compiled a
record of exemplary work, and have been identified as leaders by their
peers. Most applicants have expertise in the disciplines in which the
Design School grants degrees - architecture, landscape architecture,
urban planning and urban design. Others come from related fields such
as journalism, fine arts, nonprofit administration, and public
service. Good candidates typically share a passion for improving the
quality of the built and natural environment, and a commitment to
improving their own skills in pursuit of that goal. Ideal applicants
demonstrate a proven ability to create their own program of work or
study and carry it through to completion.

Since the central focus and goal of the Fellowship is to improve the
environment of cities and natural areas in the United States, most
applicants are from this country. However, it is clear that the
program's goal cannot be accomplished without reference to work being
done in other parts of the world. Therefore, the Fellowship welcomes
applications from qualified international practitioners. Diversity is
a very important consideration for the Fellowship on many levels.
Applications are encouraged from men and women, people of color, and
those with both typical and atypical career paths.

The Fellowship is intended to serve practitioners, not to be an
academic sabbatical. Applications from full-time academics are not
encouraged. However, candidates whose work is divided between teaching
and practice, and for whom this program will reinforce their work as
practitioners, are welcome to apply.

Application Process
All applicants are required to submit the application form and four
letters of recommendation. The portfolio and/or supplemental materials
are optional.

1. Application Form: Review the instructions for completing the
application form on page two of the form. Answers to the questions may
be submitted on separate sheets of paper.

2. Letters of Recommendations: Four letters of recommendation from
professional colleagues are required. Review the instructions on the
form. Applicants should send all four letters with the completed
application form by the deadline.

3. Portfolio and/or Supplemental Materials: Applicants are encouraged
to submit portfolios or other supporting materials, including magazine
articles, books or other work that illustrates their most important
professional accomplishments.

Reapplication Process
If you are reapplying from the previous year you must complete a new
application form. Additional letters of recommendation are not
required; however, if you have completed significant new work since
previously applying, additional recommendations may be submitted.

Selection Process
A selection committee composed of four faculty members from the Design
School, four alumni of the Fellowship, and the Curator, reviews all
applications and selects approximately 20 finalists. The Curator and
one or two alumni or "friends" of the Fellowship will conduct
individual interviews with each of the finalists. Ten Fellows are
selected in early April to begin their year in residence the following
September. The application process for the Loeb Fellowship is highly
competitive. Many deserving candidates may not be selected in a given
year, but are encouraged to reapply in the future.
