The application process is a little inconvenient in that most of the fellowships don’t tell you whether or not you got the money until late April even though you applied in early February, but in general the process itself is very straightforward. Many of the fellowships share a basic application called the CARAT (Common Application for Research and Travel) which asks you for all the logistical parts so you don’t have to do needless paperwork, and then each fellowship might ask you for an essay, a rec or two, and a transcript. The funding available is ridiculous though, OCS has a database you can search for fellowships and it’s pretty spectacular.
