Fellowship Writing Workshops

|
WashU's NSF Prepare workshop is open for applications. This workshop is designed to assist you with applications to the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), which is highly recommended for all eligible graduate students.
As in previous years, the university is offering a generous incentive program for fellowship applications:
|
- You receive $200 for applying to any qualifying fellowship
-
You receive $1,000 if awarded, plus 15% on top of the stipend (see fine print for details)
- Faculty or staff who substantially assist with your application receive $900 (awarded to their research account) if you win — a slight change from last year
