Our speakers were winners of the NSF GRFP Fellowship (as graduate students), and now as educators, they have taken their winning method on the road. They have given workshops at Harvard, MIT, UMBC, Howard, the University of Puerto Rico, and other schools, and have collectively assisted students with earning millions of dollars in fellowship award money. Each NSF GRFP Fellowship is worth more than $100,000. Our speakers have helped to produce several winners. You can be one of them!

This is a special session, concurrent with the NSF LSAMP’s Math Institute. This session is open to all undergraduate students, and first and second-year graduate students.

Session time: Part I: 11:30 – 1 PM – Applying for the Fellowship.

Lunch with participants from the LSAMP Math Institute will be available to all who choose to stay for Part II.
