Grad Fellowships Writing Institute Application Deadline
2019 Summer Graduate Fellowships Writing Institute

Students of various disciplines work on their writing individually and in small groups, participate in writing-related workshops, attend presentations on writing-related topics, and receive individual tutoring. This program helps graduate students jump start fellowship applications. This year we have added a new component to the institute where we will be addressing professional development topics that focus on the graduate student's holistic development believing that the very foundation of a solid fellowship application starts with a positive training experience.

Dates: June 4th, 6th, 11th and 13th
Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays (9am-noon)
Location: TBA

Registration Deadline: MAY 3rd, 2019

Space is limited to 40 participants.

Requirements
-You must be a registered student at the University of Connecticut to participate in the Summer Writing Institute
-You must be working on an active fellowship application for the upcoming school year
-You must have no other commitments that conflict with your attendance at the institute

Recommendation
During workshop sessions, you are expected to be actively working on drafts, so it is strongly recommended that you bring a laptop or tablet with you on those days.

This institute is sponsored by the Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships and Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention and Policy (InCHIP). Full program will be shared at the time of acceptance to the institute.
