NSF GRFP
To those seeking advice for the NSF GRFP:
I would first like to encourage that each and every student considering graduate school to apply for the NSF GRFP. It is a very long process, difficult at times, but all the more worth it when you succeed; if you don't, you have just gained valuable experience in writing and networking.
In 2016, I applied for and became a fellow within the NSF GRFP. It took many hours of writing and countless drafts sent to many people before I felt that I had a draft worthy of being denied. When news came that I had been successful, my heart dropped, I immediately called my advisor, and we both couldn't stop screaming! You can do it too! And if you're reading this right now, please feel free to email me with any questions that you may have.
Embedded below is my Personal Statement and Research Plan - please do not copy it, but use it as a reference for your own writing. If you do become a fellow, shoot me an e-mail and share the great news!
