You may have heard about fellowships, scholarships, and awards that require you to apply for nomination, like the Goldwater, Truman, or Udall Scholarships. These are competitive opportunities for which Drexel is only permitted to put forward a limited number of nominees for the national competition pool, which means we have to conduct an internal application process to choose students to nominate. If you are hoping to apply and want to put your best foot forward, attend this workshop for insight on what makes a strong application for nomination, tips on how to approach the writing process, and a peek behind the curtain at how Drexel's nomination processes work.
