Summer Workshops
|
|
|
|
These three-part, one-week workshops are designed for rising second year doctoral students who intend to apply to the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program.
During the workshop, students will learn to: interpret the NSF GRFP solicitation, distinguish intellectual merit from broader impacts in the research statement and personal statement, and approach the essays from the perspective of a GRFP evaluator. Students will consult examples of successful applications and reviewer comments in the course of the workshop.
Email grad-fellowships@uchicago.edu with questions.
