NSF GRFP Workshop 3 - Developing a Personal Statement

Tuesday, July 21, 2026

12:30 PM-1:30 PM

This workshop will provide a deep dive into the NSF GRFP Personal, Background, and Future Goals Statement, including exercises for generating, refining, and structuring content. Applicants at all stages will benefit from attending.

This is the third of four biweekly summer workshops on the NSF GRFP; applicants are also encouraged to participate in our grad fellowships biweekly writing group. You can learn more about these events and review materials from previous info sessions and workshops on our NSF Applicant Resource Site (Drexel login required).

The National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) provides selected fellows with three years of funding, including a living stipend and tuition funds, to support a research-focused doctoral degree in STEM, social sciences, or STEM education. The current application cycle is open to US citizens and permanent residents planning to begin their first graduate program in Fall 2027, or who will be in the 1st year of a PhD program in Fall 2026. BS-MS students planning to continue on to a PhD program are only eligible to apply in their final year of BS-MS study (and not as first year doctoral students).
