Call for mentors and participants in GRFP workshop
Call for participants and mentors for the GRFP workshop! The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) offers 3 years of support for graduate students (~$37k salary, ~$16k toward tuition, and some travel/internship opportunities) to be used over a 5-year period. This fellowship is for students who will be applying for graduate school this fall or are first- or second-year graduate students.
If you are applying for the GRFP this year and are interested in being mentored, please fill out this survey by September 1. This grant is open to undergraduates, those who have graduated with their Bachelor’s, and first or second year graduate students.
If you have grant-writing experience (not necessarily with the GRFP) and are interested in mentoring applicants on their essays, please fill out this survey by September 1. We welcome graduate students and post-docs as mentors!
We will be running a workshop designed to help applicants through the process of applying for the GRFP by connecting them with advice, mentorship, and feedback from senior grad students, postdocs, and faculty. The workshop is hybrid and takes place Sept 11, Sept 18, Sept 25, Oct 2, and Oct 9 from 5:30-7pm PT in FSH 203 (zoom details to be shared soon). We pair applicants with mentors (including GRFP fellows, recipients of national fellowship programs, and post-doctoral researchers) for feedback and advice on GRFP applications. We also walk applicants through the components of the application, and have at least one guest-faculty speaker, all under the theme of discussing what makes a successful application.
