Application Process

The associate application period for 2012 is now closed.

If you have submitted an online application, applicants may view application status by visiting the Fellowship Management System and logging into their account.

PHAP recommends that prospective associate candidates visit this website often to find updates, including when the associate application opens next year and information about the required supporting documents. The PHAP associate application typically consists of three components: an online application, two letters of recommendation, and an official academic transcript.
