I find it sort of unfair that if you've been out of school for longer than 6 months, you can't apply. I have been out of school for a year and would love to apply for this position, but can't. Why is there this time frame? (And yes, I know life isn't fair, but still.)
This is a common practice in many fields. I guess they have to draw the line somewhere and, in this case, it's 6 months. It's also possible that labor agreements may dictate eligibility requirements for certain jobs like this. Of course, it bites if you're on the wrong end of the cutoff. There are many opportunities listed on the fellowships page that have less stringent cutoffs.
