“I was just accepted to Johns Hopkins' PhD program with one of their most prestigious fellowships. WOAH! The Fully Funded course gave me a process with which to approach the 8 PhD and fellowship applications I completed last fall. The tools and strategies that you provided made me a much more competitive applicant, especially the writing structure and interview prep. The MATCH ME Formula was practical and immediately useful. I count on your continued guidance as I make my decision. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!”

Carmen G., fully funded PhD candidate in Sociology ($345,000 funding package)

"I would absolutely recommend this course to others starting out on their graduate school journeys. I especially appreciate that the Fully Funded course was made fully accessible for deaf students with captioning and transcripts. I received multiple acceptances and funding offers for top MPP and MBA programs, including Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins SAIS, Wharton Business School, and University of Chicago!"

Sheila X., Zuckerman Fellowship Winner ($88,000 award!) at Harvard Kennedy School & multiple acceptances

"I still cannot believe what I have achieved through this course - a full funding award worth more than $75,000 and the opportunity to attend my dream master's program. Your formula helped me build and polish my application story. This gave me the edge I needed to stand out among so many other outstanding candidates.”

Oumama K., Thomas R. Pickering Fellowship Winner ($75,000+ award) &

graduate student at Johns Hopkins SAIS

"I knew I needed to find fully funded PhD programs, but I did not know where to start or anything about the process.  I could have tried to Google everything or hope that I could get enough quality advice from friends and associates, but I didn’t have the time with my master’s studies, and I needed someone in-the-know to give me the right kind of advice. The MATCH ME Formula showed me how to make each application unique so it would not be seen as just another “cookie-cutter” submission. Getting help and advice through the course about each component and your big-picture strategies undoubtedly helped me to get to where I am today: multiple full funding offers."

Ricky U., fully funded PhD in Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M ($310,000 funding package)

“The Fully Funded course helped make my second try at applying to graduate school a success. I applied to six PhD programs in Biomedical Sciences. I interviewed with two and was accepted to both. I'm going to Stanford! Thank you for this course. It was a great investment"

Omar N., 2021 fully funded PhD candidate in Genetics/Biomedical Sciences at Stanford University ($350,000 funding package)

Applying to fellowships and graduate schools can be confusing, confidence-draining, time-intensive and isolating… but it doesn’t have to be!


Maybe you've your eye on some of the nationally competitive fellowship awards (Fulbright, Pickering, White House Fellows, Rotary) that could fully fund graduate school or offer an unparalleled professional development opportunity, but are intimidated by the competition.

 

Perhaps you're scouring the internet for graduate school funding awards and coming up short. You’ve vaguely heard of “fully funded graduate programs” (perhaps this page is the first time) and they sound too good to be true.

 

You wish someone would show you how to find the right fellowship and funding awards for your goals, or fully funded master's or doctoral degrees offering full tuition coverage and annual stipend for the duration of your studies (yes, they exist!) 

 

And you’d like to learn a *proven formula* for creating a winning application so you don’t lose confidence and focus as you compile and edit your essays and request recommendation letters.

 

Most of all, you’d like to receive support and mentorship from someone who knows the secrets to gaining entrance to highly competitive programs and awards, so you don’t have to figure this out on your own.  


Ultimately, when you hit “Submit”, you want to feel fully confident that you prepared your *strongest application possible*.

Invest in Guidance From a Globally-Recognized Expert on Winning Fellowship and Graduate School Funding


Hi! I'm Dr. Vicki Johnson, the Founder and CEO of ProFellow.com, the world's leading online resource for information on professional and academic fellowships. 

 

I'm a four-time fellowship winner, a top PhD scholar, and award-winning social impact entrepreneur. I teach insider strategies on winning competitive funding awards and entrance to top graduate schools.

 

Over the last 10 years, I've worked with hundreds of successful applicants and interviewed thousands of award winners. I created this course to share my unique application formula with people who aim to do something exceptional.

 

In the Fully Funded program, you will find awards and fully funded graduate programs that meet your eligibility and fulfill your goals AND you'll learn my unique MATCH ME Formula for preparing a winning application. 

 

 

Through the MATCH ME Formula, I:

  • Won four highly competitive professional fellowships (with a 5% acceptance rate or less), including a Fulbright Award
  • Gained entrance to 6 Ivy League/Top 10 graduate programs 
  • Was awarded a full funding package to complete my PhD, and achieved the 2014 Dean's Award for Exceptional Theses (top 10% of all PhD graduates)
  • Was paid to live and pursue independent projects in the UK, Germany & New Zealand
  • Appointed Policy Director of President Obama's Congressional Committee at the age of 30
  • Successfully pitched and received promotions, salary increases, professional development funding, paid sabbaticals, travel opportunities, and public speaking opportunities from my early career employers.

My MATCH ME Formula


Through my own experience winning fellowships and entrances to top graduate schools, and through my ProFellow interviews with thousands of fellowship winners, I uncovered 7 key elements of a winning graduate school or fellowship application, now outlined in the award-winning MATCH ME Formula:

  1. Memorable
  2. Aligns with the program's mission
  3. Timely and urgent
  4. Capitalizes on the program's unique value add
  5. Highly specific
  6. Mutually beneficial
  7. Elegant

The Fully Funded program is the only online program in the world where you can learn how you can apply the 7 fundamental elements of the MATCH ME Formula to develop a winning graduate school or fellowship application.

You're Ready to Apply to Graduate School, But You've Got a Lot of Questions!


“How do I find fully funded graduate programs and fellowships?”

“How can I compete for these top programs that offer funding? I’m not sure I have what it takes to be accepted.”

“Finding and applying to fully funded graduate programs sounds daunting, I don’t have a plan to follow or a mentor to guide me”

I know, there can be a lot of questions and confusion if you’re applying to graduate school for the first time and finding few options for funding. 

 

If you don’t know where to look for funding, you can give up easily… or just resort to taking on student debt. 

 

Even once you’ve found some great graduate programs that offer full funding, applying to competitive graduate programs can be intimidating. 

 

Without guidance on how to develop an application that will stand out among other top candidates, it can be difficult to make any progress and feel highly confident about your chances when you hit “Submit.”

 

That’s why I’ve created my step by step course and mentorship program...

FULLY FUNDED

An online course and mentorship program to help you find fully funded graduate programs, fellowships & funding awards, and prepare your winning application using the MATCH ME Formula 

Developed by four-time fellow and ProFellow Founder, Dr. Vicki Johnson


“The Fully Funded course made my third round of applying to grad school more efficient and allowed me to be confident about my applications. After going through the Fully Funded modules, I knew I was going to present the best application I could create. I will finally be able to obtain my PhD because of the strategies provided by this course! Thank you again for this program!"

Sherron H., fully funded PhD candidate at University of Texas, Austin ($295,000 funding package)

"As someone who was also going straight from their undergraduate to graduate degree, it was a bit intimidating to undertake the graduate school application process. The Fully Funded course taught me where to find funded master's programs, and it made me really research schools and different disciplines that are a good fit for my interests but were also financially viable. I'm pleased to report that I received more than $100,000 in funding offers across the 5 graduate programs I was accepted to. I'll be starting my first year fully funded!"

 

- Josephine J, fully funded 2021 Master's candidate at UNC Chapel Hill (awarded $100,000+ in funding offers)

"I would absolutely recommend this course to graduate school applicants! If you are applying for the first time and you aren't familiar with how it all works, it can be overwhelming. It really helps to have an organized space in the Fully Funded workbooks to take notes on graduate programs and develop your strategy on how to approach them. Seeking a degree in the UK as an international student has been tricky and stressful, but with the support of the course and Vicki's Office Hours, I have achieved acceptance to several programs!"

Brandi S, accepted to PhD at the University of York (and several other UK graduate programs!) AND Acton-Goodman Scholarship Finalist

“The module on "Interview Secrets" was incredible! It really helped me outline my interview plan, reach out to past fellows (which I was easily able to do), and formulate interview questions both for myself and the interview team. I walked away from that interview so excited, proud, and grateful for the experience."

Nicole L., Buell Fellowship Winner ($75,000 award) &

mid-career PhD candidate at Colorado State University

“Before taking the Fully Funded course, I had applied to doctoral programs and was rejected across-the-board. I joined Fully Funded because I knew I had to do something different. The course taught me how to change my application story from one of tragedy to inspiration. At my next try, I was accepted to ALL for programs, with full funding offers!"

L. Tomay Douglas, fully funded PhD candidate in Sociology at UC San Diego ($345,000 funding)

"The greatest thing I gained from the Fully Funded course was confidence. I have a decade’s experience as a writer and editor, but I experienced a lot of doubt about my own material because I couldn’t “see” it through another’s eyes. Watching the Fully Funded modules and applying the guidance gave me confidence that I was on the right path. In particular, the course guidance was extremely helpful for requesting references and negotiating awards. I gained entrance to two Master of Fine Arts (MFA) programs, both with significant funding offers!"

- Adebola Rayo., 2021 MFA at UC San Francisco with a $20,000 funding award

“The Fully Funded course is already meeting my expectations of demystifying the application process. The structure and assignments in the modules are providing me with actionable steps to take. I love the examples used in the videos! All of this is truly beneficial, as it has helped reduce the stress and anxiety I had at the beginning of this process!

Carolyn B., new Fully Funded course participant

“As a mid-career professional, one of the best things I received from the Fully Funded course was step-by-step guidance on how to narrow my goals and find fellowships and funding opportunities that will help me meet those goals. I've learned how to best position myself and my story for each individual program I've applied to. This clarified the whole process for me and really boosted my confidence that I was indeed someone they’d want to work with - and that was HUGE for me. I've now been accepted into a prestigious women’s leadership program AND a fellowship to work with leaders in local government, and I have a finalist interview for a third fellowship!"

Maryruth P., Coro Women in Leadership Fellowship Winner AND Urban Leaders Fellowship Winner ($100,000+ value in fellowships)

How Long Does It Take to Complete the Fully Funded Course?


The best answer is, it depends on you and your situation. Most students can watch the 10 modules of video trainings and complete the exercises in 10 weeks or less (1 module per week). 

 

However, translating your exercises into essays and preparing one or more applications for fellowships and graduate schools can take much longer. 

 

If you have a deadline that is less than 2 months away, I suggest starting right away! If you have a deadline that is more than 2 months away, I also suggest starting right away! 

 

The more time you have to edit and improve your applications, the better. I recommend you set aside at least 2 - 5 hours per week to go through the video modules, complete your exercises and prepare your applications.

 

Also be sure to book the recurring Office Hours events on your calendars and participate whenever you can!

“The Fully Funded personal statement writing exercises and interactive workbooks were beyond helpful, especially for a visual learned like myself. The course feels guided and personalized."

Katherin S., fully funded Master's candidate at Columbia University ($100,000 funding award)

"As someone who was also going straight from their undergraduate to graduate degree, it was a bit intimidating to undertake the graduate school application process. The Fully Funded course taught me where to find funded master's programs, and it made me really research schools and different disciplines that are a good fit for my interests but were also financially viable. I'm pleased to report that I received more than $100,000 in funding offers across the 5 graduate programs I was accepted to. I'll be starting my first year fully funded!"

 

- Josephine J, fully funded 2021 Master's candidate at UNC Chapel Hill (awarded $100,000+ in funding offers)

There Has Never Been a Better Time to Start Fully Funded


Why not start today instead of putting off your dream of completing your master’s or doctoral degree? 

 

Starting now will allow you to:

  • Have as much time as possible to research and find fully funded programs that will help you achieve your career goals

  • Have time to contact and network with faculty and students during your application process

  • Have adequate time to prepare your strongest applications possible

  • Get a step ahead of other applicants who have not yet started their applications. 

 

My personal motto is: The prepared will succeed. 

 

Your level of preparation and effort directly correlates with your level of success. 

“It has been an amazing journey in the course. It was like a lightbulb came on. I decided to apply for an award that I previously dismissed as out of my league. The deadline was in just 2 days. I nailed my personal statement by Thursday morning and received positive feedback from my colleagues. Even though the application was rushed, this was my best application EVER. My confidence is soaring! I now have a list of 10 more awards that I plan to apply to."

Wumi Oyeleke, Fully Funded student from Nigeria

How do I know if I am a good fit for this program?


You are NOT ready to enroll in Fully Funded if:


  • You are looking for an "easy" solution to achieve a fellowship or full funding for graduate school. (Be aware, these applications take time and effort!)
     

  • You are unwilling to be coached and apply a proven formula to express your personal story and academic potential to selection committees.
     

  • You're not willing to dedicate a few hours per week into finding the right fully funded programs for your goals and preparing your applications to avoid taking out tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars ($$$,$$$!) in student debt.

You are READY to enroll in Fully Funded if:


  • You are highly motivated to achieve a master’s or Ph.D. that is fully funded, saving you tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars ($$$,$$$) in student debt.
  • You are willing to commit 2-5 hours per week to complete the Fully Funded course and prepare your graduate school applications.
  • You are willing to re-locate for graduate school. (Note: unless you are in a major metropolitan city, you may find it difficult to find fully funded graduate programs commuting distance from your home.)

    "I have been an educator and mentor for 25+ years and I found Vicki's workshops to be the best career and application trainings I have ever seen. I wish I had been giving information to my students over the years in the way that Vicki does."

    Kathy Cox, Assistant Dean & Fellowship Advisor,
    East Carolina University

    “I was accepted to all three graduate programs I applied to! ASU is offering me a $35,000 merit scholarship and I'm a finalist for an additional scholarship that would cover my full tuition! The advice and strategies you teach were valuable in developing a competitive application. I want to thank you for the role you played in my successful applications."

    Jennifer M., $35,000 Scholarship  Winner + Full Tuition Award Finalist,

    ASU Thunderbird School of Global Management

    You Can Do This Regardless of Your Test Scores,
    Age or Confidence Level


    • "My test scores are terrible."

      Believe it or not, for most programs, the GRE and other required test scores are not the most important part of the application package (and some schools are no longer requiring them!) You may find great programs requiring minimum test scores and choose to work on improving your scores. Or you might choose programs that are a better fit for where you are now. You can attend Office Hours and talk through this decision with me!

    • "I worry I’m too old (or too young/too experienced/not experienced enough, etc.) to go to graduate school."

      You do not need to be at a certain age or certain professional level to gain acceptance to a high-quality graduate program, but you do need to find programs that are a good fit for your background and for your goals. This program will help you with this very step!

    • "I feel pretty confident I can get accepted, but I am worried there will be no funding to go to my dream school." 

      Even if your dream school does not offer full funding, this program will help you identify other top programs that are fully funded that you can apply to as alternatives. Acceptance to fully funded programs can often help you negotiate funding at schools that do not typically offer it.

       

      You can also use the Fully Funded program to apply to some of the nationally competitive full funding awards offered by foundations and government agencies (like the Pickering, Soros and Payne Fellowships), which fund a graduate program of your choice. The Fully Funded program will unlock a world of possibilities!

    “I just received this exciting email for a finalist interview and I’ve got tears of joy. I used your tips, listened to your videos over and over again, developed and reviewed my workbook, met a current fellow like you advised, and got more insights before submitting my application. Viola! This is my first invitation to interview after many unsuccessful attempts. I just can't thank you enough.”

    Gladys O., Finalist for the Atlantic Fellows Program & Fully Funded PhD Position

    Frequently Asked Questions


    What are fully funded graduate school programs?

    Can I get 1:1 advising as well?

    Where can I ask questions as I go through the course?

    Can Fully Funded help me apply to postdoctoral fellowships, research fellowships and professional fellowships, like the Fulbright awards?

    What is the time commitment?

    What is the "success rate" of students in Fully Funded?

    What is the refund policy?

    Do you offer scholarships to people who wish to enroll in Fully Funded?

    What are the guarantees?

    Is this course applicable to students and professionals outside of the United States?

    Yes, if you are fluent in English and applying to English-based fellowships and graduate schools in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australasia. Foreign applicants are typically expected to score high on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and have their undergraduate degrees evaluated by a third party for admissions eligibility. I recommend looking into these graduate school eligibility requirements and costs before enrolling in the Fully Funded course and mentorship program.

    Does Fully Funded provide strategies for acing the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or other entrance exams?

    “Before taking the course, I thought I wasn't a unique or qualified enough candidate to be applying for any of the opportunities I had my heart set on. The Fully Funded course taught me how to research opportunities, find the "insider information" that was right in front of me, and determine the best way to tell my story for each award. These are REAL strategies and tools that will elevate your application and make you stand out from the rest of the applicant pool. I am now a semifinalist for three highly competitive awards, including a Fulbright award! This course gave me the confidence to know I will never give up again." 

    Rachel S., Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange Fellowship Winner ($80,000+ in funding),

    Fulbright Finalist, and 2021 fully funded PhD at UMass, Lowell ($300,000 funding award)
