Graduate School

<p>Hey everyone, I was hoping some of you could give me tips for these grad fellowship applications? I plan on submitting 2 or 3 applications. I need specific tips for the essays. I'm currently in my 1st year of grad school and I have a pretty good idea of the different research routes I can take. Should I be as detailed as possible as my intentions for this grant? </p>

<p>Any other useful tips/hints?</p>

<p>Yes, I’ve heard your research proposals should be very detailed. You want to convince these people that you have a solid, articulated plan and the capability to do real, meaningful research.</p>
