In this workshop presented by Dr. Ashalla Freeman and other NSF GRFP reviewers, you will learn about the NSF GRFP application process and what reviewers are looking for in your application. A panel of application reviewers and fellowship awardees will share their insights about developing and reviewing competitive applications.  Of the students who attended this workshop last year, 3 won NSF GRFs and 4 were awarded honorable mentions. Workshop attendees who choose to apply for this NSF fellowship may receive feedback on their application by one of our NSF GRFP reviewers (Dependent upon reviewer discipline and availability).  Co-sponsored by The Graduate School, TIBBS, and the Center for Faculty Excellence.
