This program helps maintain or reinforce solid writing practices and focus. Providing the “break talks” are very helpful, reminding all of us how to break things down and pace.

NSF GRFP Working Group

If you are a STEM student who is a senior undergraduate, or first- or second-year graduate student and are planning on applying for the NSF GRFP fellowship in October, this group is for you. We will meet 1 time per month in July and August, then at least once per week in September and October. We will discuss application expectations and will help each other during the drafting process.

I really enjoyed getting to hear from other graduate students on where they are at in their programs and enjoyed feeling productive and meeting my goals.
