PhD Fellowship Application Overview
Wed, Sep 19, 2012 @ 03:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Workshops & Infosessions
During this seminar, I will review the criteria for the two most common PhD fellowships awarded to engineering graduate students: NSF and NDSEG PhD fellowships. Specifically, we will discuss the application process, the components of the application (CV, essays, letters, scores), and the key points to consider when writing essays. We will also review previous successful applications.
This seminar is targeted to graduating seniors applying to PhD programs and current 1st/2nd year engineering PhD students.Location: Hedco Petroleum and Chemical Engineering Building (HED) - 116
Audiences: Graduate

As the GRE is taken by everyone applying to graduate school, not just engineers and scientists, the GRE does not require advanced math or verbal skills, so it is very similar to the SAT. We will take a practice GRE and score it.
