Preparing excellent fellowship applications

Writing grant applications is an important part of research and of your development as researchers. The first opportunity to put together something like a grant application for many graduate students is to apply for fellowships. But, why do these fellowships even exist? How do they relate to my time at UBC and my career? How are recipients for fellowships selected?

Facilitated by Dr. Julian Dierkes (Senior Associate Dean of Students, Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies), this session will provide perspective on the review process from the perspective of the committees that select fellowship recipients.

Both incoming and continuing graduate students are welcome to attend this session, whether you’re eligible for tri-agency fellowships or not. This is a good time to start thinking about and preparing applications generally!

Offered online via Zoom. Register via the UBC Graduate Studies website.
