Graduate fellowships are the first time that many scholars are exposed to the world of grants and contracts. While this can be an intimidating process for the uninitiated, understanding key points in the fellowship application and review process can help you navigate a path to success. Join our guest speaker, Paolo Mangahas, for a workshop on "Writing Compelling NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Proposals." This workshop will cover the following topics:

• What is the National Science Foundation and what is its mandate?

• What does the NSF look for in GRF applicants?

• How do you write a personal background and future goals statement?

• How do you write a research plan statement?

• How do you get letters of recommendation?

• Updates and Q & As

Please note: This workshop focuses on the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, which is available to eligible U.S. Citizens, Nationals, and Permanent Residents. View the full NSF GRFP applicant eligibility criteria here.
