What you should be doing now Keep your grades up Get to know faculty Get involved Seek out leadership roles and opportunities. Research projects Share your ideas Publications Conferences
A few final words Start early!! Get input from readers in and out of your field Revise revise revise. And revise again. Work closely with your recommenders on your application. Work closely with me throughout. Consider applying for more than one award. Try to represent your real self as best you can, then relax. Be honest about who you are and don’t worry about what you think you should be or what you are not. All programs get far more qualified applicants than they can give grants to, Arbitrariness to the selection process. Not a reflection on you or your merit.
