NSF Graduate Research Fellowship – Personal Statement Workshop for JHU Applicants

Description

If you intend to apply for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF GRF), you are strongly encouraged to attend one of two virtual writing workshops offered by the National Fellowships Program (NFP). These identical sessions (on Sept. 3 and Sept. 5) will focus on how to approach the personal statement that is a major part of the NSF GRF application, including ways to address the NSF's "broader impacts" criteria.

Fellowship advisers are also available to review a draft of your personal statement if submitted by one of two draft review deadlines, Sept. 16 and Sept. 30. Drafts will be accepted in two batches based on those deadlines and read and returned in the order they are received within each batch. Due to the large number of fellowship deadlines at this time of year, NFP staff can only read one draft per applicant. Submissions will be accepted via a Canvas course, which contains additional resources for NSF GRF applicants. To access the Canvas course and/or if you have questions, please email the NFP at nfp@jhu.edu.
