Writing about your research in order to secure funding is a skill that you will need to hone throughout (and, often, beyond) your graduate career. The following workshops and resources will set you up for funding success!
Library of Successful Fellowship Proposals
The Graduate Division maintains a library of successful grant proposals. Come by the Graduate Resource Center (SSB 217) to browse these proposals as you are getting ready to write your own. Available during walk-in hours or by appointment, once campus reopens. We encourage students view and take notes, however you may not take photos, copies or remove the proposals from the GRC.
