In this workshop presented by Dr. Ashalla Freeman and other NSF GRFP reviewers, you will learn about the NSF GRFP application process and what reviewers are looking for in your application. A panel of application reviewers and fellowship awardees will share their insights about developing and reviewing competitive applications. Of the students who attended this workshop last year, 12 won NSF GRFs and 4 received honorable mentions! Workshop attendees who choose to apply for this NSF fellowship may submit their application for pre-review by one of our NSF GRFP reviewers by Oct. 1, 2014 (dependent upon reviewer discipline and availability).

If you are unable to attend the September 4th session, you may attend an analogous session on August 27th at 1 pm in the Graduate Student Center. Panelists in the September 4th workshop will be focused on the biomedical sciences, while panelists in the August 27th workshop will be focused on the humanities, but the majority of the workshop content will be relevant to all disciplines.
