Fellowship Note
These dates are for MBA admission, not confirmed fellowship deadlines. A separate fellowship deadline could not be confirmed from the official sources reviewed, so avoid relying on dates from unofficial scholarship websites. Making the MBA deadline on its own does not mean your fellowship application was submitted or approved.
My Advice
Work back from the Round 2 date and give yourself time to polish your essays and gather recommendations. Also check the fellowship's own instructions to see whether it needs an earlier or separate submission, and verify everything on the official Stanford GSB page.
