Strategic Proposal Writing Series, Fall 2023

Posted on August 22, 2023 by Teresa M. Delcorso-Ellmann

Join us this fall for the GradFund series in Strategic Proposal Writing.

The program offers graduate students planning to apply for external funding this fall semester a series of workshops geared towards common issues at the core of successful fellowship application writing.

This unique opportunity will allow participants to learn strategic approaches to proposal writing in an interactive workshop style format.

Four workshops will be offered as part of the Strategic Proposal Writing series and will be facilitated by the GradFund Fellowship Advising team. The workshops are designed to be interactive and participatory and small group work will be part of the workshop activities. You can select to participate in as many or as few of the workshops as you please. Space is limited, so early registration is suggested. Participants must register for the workshops using a Rutgers email address (netid@rutgers.edu)
