Join us in the CURF office on September 22 to meet a representative from the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans. This is a fellowship opportunity that provides merit-based graduate study funding for New Americans, immigrants, and children of immigrants who are poised to make significant contributions to US culture, society, and academia.

Undergraduate students applying for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) are invited to participate in this interactive writing workshop led by the Science Outreach Initiative and CURF. You will learn basic grant writing skills, information about writing for the GRFP specifically, and have the opportunity to workshop your ideas for your proposal. Students will leave knowing what characteristics the NSF is looking for and how to craft a narrative of their personal experiences that highlights those characteristics. Session participants will also receive instructions on how to get one-on-one essay feedback before NSF deadlines.

Space is limited, so make sure to register early.

The Goldwater Foundation awards undergraduate scholarships to sophomores and juniors who have outstanding potential, an exceptional academic record with research experience, and intend to earn a PhD or Master's degree in a STEM field pursuing a research career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering. Each scholarship provides up to a maximum of $7,500 annually for up to two years of undergraduate study.

Join us to learn more about this great opportunity!
