Do you have seniors who are interested in MS or PhD work? Fellowship Opportunity Here!

Do you have seniors who are interested in MS or PhD work?  The transition to graduate work is much easier with a fellowship in hand.  Please encourage them to apply for Graduate Research Fellowships from NSF through the GRFP Program!

The purpose of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is to help ensure the vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or in STEM education. The GRFP provides three years of support for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant research achievements in STEM or STEM education. NSF especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, persons with disabilities, veterans, and undergraduate seniors to apply.

Dr. Mark Lee is putting together workshop materials for students to facilitate application completion.  Please have your students follow the following steps:

  • Register in the FastLane GRFP system.
  • Write down your log in name, password and the applicant number assigned to you.
  • Send the applicant number to marklee@spelman.edu by September 1.
  • Applications are due October 2018.

Intl Prestigious Scholarships Workshops

The application deadlines for most of the prestigious international post-baccalaureate scholarships, such as Fulbright, Marshall and Rhodes, are due in either September or October.  In an effort to provide information to students to help them prepare their applications, the Spelman College Dept. of Psychology will hold two workshops on August 20 and August 27.  Students MUST attend one of these workshops before applying.

Note to faculty: If you are asked to write a support letter for one or more of the scholarships, please customize your letter for the student and program, as a run-of-the-mill letter will not help the student’s case.  Also, please try to complete your letter as soon as possible and at least a few days before the deadline, so that we have time to upload the application materials before the cutoff.  A missing letter can sink even an outstanding student’s application in these highly competitive programs.

Please click the link below to see the flyer for more information about the sessions.  If you have any questions, you may contact mganz@spelman.edu or kbrakke@spelman.edu.
