Applying for fellowships and grants is a crucial aspect of any graduate student’s professional development. Beyond the potential funding, the application process helps you improve your grant writing skills, practice communicating your research and goals to diverse audiences, and gain mentorship from faculty and other campus resources.

  • Tools to assess which fellowships and grants best suit your current and future needs
  • Best practices for crafting strong applications
  • Available resources at ASU for advising and writing support

All graduate students are welcome, but early-stage students are especially encouraged to attend, as planning is key to creating strong applications.
