Do you want $24,000 per year? Would you like a prestigious honor on your CV? Consider applying for the Ford Foundation Fellowship! In this Q&A session, besides covering the basics, we will walk you through all the steps of applying and answer any questions that you might have.

Ford Foundation Fellowship applicants must produce 3-5 different statements to apply! The number of needed statements makes this application much more complex than the average fellowship. Let us walk you through this style of writing and prepare you to craft a winning set of statements.

There is a world of difference between being told what your writing should look like and being shown what it should look like. This is because examples make learning a new skill much easier to recognize and practice. This workshop will provide that help by going over examples of successful statements from previously awarded Ford Foundation Fellows.

On October 29, Academic Advisors from the Graduate Division will be available to meet with students individually to conduct formatting pre-checks and answer questions about the process of filing a master’s thesis, doctoral dissertation, or DMA supporting document. Sign up today!
