Event Description
Applying for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program? Attend one of our two types of application workshop! This particular workshop will focus on writing the NSF GRFP Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals essay. The essay is designed to give reviewers a sense of who you are, your experience and readiness to conduct advanced research and studies, and your research and career goals. In this hands-on workshop, we will discuss how to approach this essay and work to explore your motivation, experience, and goals to help you - and your reader - gain a deeper understanding of your fellowship application. Please RSVP (even last minute) to fellowships@drexel.edu.
