1. Please click on "The Flowchart for Fellowship" to reference the importance of the C.I.F. (Candidate Information Form) in the Fellowship Process.
   
   
2. After reviewing the flowchart, the Sponsor should Download the blank Candidate Package (70K zip file). This package consists of:
   
   • one fill-in (1) Sponsor page (PDF format) (MS Word format) and
     
   • three fill-in (3) Candidate information pages (PDF format) (MS Word format).
     
     To view and type into these forms, please download the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader program for your type of computer if you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 (or later), so you can type, save and email these forms. Earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader will NOT allow you to save or email the filled-in forms, only print them.
     
     
     
3. Save these blank forms to your computer ( use Save-As command in menu, or right click with mouse on the form's link).
   
   
4. Transmit the three candidate information pages to the Candidate with the instructions to complete all of the information sections on the computer or by typewriter - handwritten copies are not acceptable. Advise candidate to download the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 (or later) program (see above). Inform Candidate that no section should be left blank. More is better. These forms will be screened by the entire Board of Regents.
   
   
5. A Candidate shall return the completed form to the Sponsor who will examine for completeness. Additional pages may be added where additional space is required. Please do not submit Curriculum Vitae.
   
   
6. The Sponsor shall obtain letters of recommendation from two Fellows in good standing, and those Fellows names should be added to the Sponsor Page.
   
   
7. Finally, the Sponsor shall assemble the Candidate Package:
   
   • Sponsor Page with signatures
     
   • Letters of Recommendation
     
   • Candidate Information Form
     

   and transmit the complete package to the Deputy Regent. (Sponsor page with original signatures must be mailed or faxed; the CIF may be emailed, mailed, or faxed - be sure the candidate's name is on each page); the letters of endorsement may be faxed, mailed, or emailed - if scanned from letterhead with original signature.)
   

8. The Deputy Regent will review the application, and, if complete, obtain a signature from the Vice Regent and forward to the Regent.
   
   
9. After review, the Regent will mail the complete package to the Central Office for processing.
