PhD Plus is pleased to announce a four-part Fellowship Workshop Series. This summer series is designed to support graduate students who are planning to apply to graduate or postgraduate fellowship opportunities. Over four 90-minute sessions, participants will gain insight into what reviewers are looking for, develop a better understanding of what made past applications successful, begin drafting application materials that highlight their individual experiences and strengths, receive small group feedback on their personal and research statement ideas, and more. This series is applicable to students in ANY field.
Students who are planning to apply for the NSF GRFP this fall are strongly encouraged to participate. Graduate students who participate in three or more sessions will be eligible to receive a credential on their transcripts.
