Make An Appointment

The Fellowships Advisor assists the student in all stages of the application process for approximately 30 competitive, merit-based national and international fellowships. The advisor provides information and advice on available programs, opportunities for strategic planning and reflection, and guidance for completing a competitive application to these specific awards. The advisor also reads and comments upon scholarship essays and other application materials for supported awards only.

One-on-one personalized advising is available year-round.

Drop-In Hours: Fall Break

Priority during these Drop-In Hours will be given to NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Applicants with deadlines between Oct. 18-22.

Appointments: When appointment availability is limited, as in September and October, priority is given to students with immediate external application deadlines. Prospective and current applicants should:

1. Visit MyPLAN to book a National Fellowships advising appointment.
2. Complete the Prospective Fellowship Candidate Intake Form at least 24 hours prior to the appointment.

Please select a meeting time that is at least 2 to 5 business days in the future so that our advisors can dedicate time to carefully review your materials before your appointment.

Please note that NIF is a specialized advising service for fellowship applicants; our staff are not able to provide generalized career or resume advice for the purposes of seeking employment. Please visit the Career Coaching page for general career advising appointments. We encourage all students, including fellowship applicants, to take advantage of Career Coaching services.
