Writing Statements of Purpose and Project Proposals

Stand out from the stack. Application reviewers read hundreds of graduate study or project plans—learn how to make yours unforgettable. Your statement of purpose or proposal essay should showcase not just what you want to do, but why it matters. In this workshop, led by Courtney Santos, Director, Undergraduate Research & Fellowships, you’ll learn how to tell your story with purpose, connect your goals to a fellowship’s mission, and design a clear, compelling vision for your future work.
