Q: Is there a specific time deadline on the date nominations are due? (e.g. midnight or end of business day time (5 p.m.)?)

 A: The deadline at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the listed due date. The committee will not be able to review late or incomplete submissions. Late submissions entered after the first deadline will be reviewed in the second round; late submissions after the second deadline will not be accepted.

Q: Our department has multiple majors. How many nominations do we get?

A: One.

Q: Is it OK for the department to send in two nominations, and then have the committee only consider the more competitive one of the two for the award?

A: No. Each department is allowed one nomination. Do not submit additional nominations.

Q: Our faculty is discussing the various funding package options and we won't likely have a resolution for several weeks. Are we able to nominate a student if we do not have an offer letter to submit?

A: An offer letter is required for a complete nomination. If the department has not yet finalized support packages for all admits by the first deadlines, the department’s options are to:

• Finalize the offer letter for the Katzin nominee separately (ahead of finalizing for other admits - if the nominee is truly exceptional, creating an exceptional offer letter is consistent with the department’s desire to recruit the prospective student)

• Wait to submit the nomination for the second deadline

Q: Can the department nominate a student that has been nominated for admission by the department, but not yet finalized/approved by GEPA Admissions?

A: Yes. If the department has nominated the applicant for admission in SLATE, the Katzin nomination can be submitted before GEPA Admissions completes their review and admits the student. All required documents/letters must be included for a complete nomination.

The committee will not be able to review late or incomplete submissions. Late submissions entered after the first deadline will be reviewed in the second round; late submissions after the second deadline will not be accepted.

Note: The Fellowship Review Committee selects this applicant, the Fellowship will not be formally awarded until the GEPA Admissions completes their review and admits the applicant.
