Application Deadline: Friday, May 16th at 12PM (noon). Acceptance emails will be sent by May 21.

Prestigious Awards and Fellowships Writing Groups

Applicants for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) or Fulbright programs should contact the Graduate Writing Center about our specialized writing groups for prestigious awards and fellowships.

Apply Here for the Summer and Fall NSF GRFP Graduate Writing Groups!

Each year the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards approximately 2500 fellowships to new and prospective graduate students who are US Citizens, nationals, or permanent residents in STEM or STEM education fields. (Further restrictions may apply. For full eligibility criteria, see here: https://www.nsfgrfp.org/applicants/applicant-eligibility/)   
 
These prestigious awards are highly competitive, and the application process includes producing documents (the Graduate Research Plan and the Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals Statement) that may be new to students at the early stages of graduate school. To support NSF GRFP applicants, the Graduate Writing Center offers 6-week online writing groups where participants will learn effective strategies for producing these documents, critique sample texts, and receive feedback from both their peers and specially trained GWC consultants. Participation in weekly 1:1 writing consultations is strongly encouraged for those attending the writing groups and required for those who cannot attend writing groups at one of the designated times. 

For the Fall 2025 application cycle, we are offering summer and fall writing group options. Available dates and times are listed in the application. 

To participate, apply here by the following deadlines: 

Summer 2025 Writing Group Registration Deadline: May 30, 2025 
Fall 2025 Writing Group Registration Deadline: August 27, 2025

Note: The writing group application is extensive and includes several elements of the NSF GRFP application process to help you prepare. Please allow time to complete additional forms and reflective questions before the deadline.  Please contact gradwritingcenter@ttu.edu with any questions.
