Title: “Workshop on Writing Fellowship Applications,” presented by the Warren Center’s Graduate Student Grants Program
Description: Many fellowship selection committees include scholars across a range of humanistic and social scientific disciplines. This workshop’s central topic will be: how to articulate your project so as to be legible outside your subfield and discipline. This session will be especially relevant to those who can apply to the Warren Center, Harvard’s research center for North American history – yet grad students from across the humanities and social sciences will find it useful.
Pre-work: Doing the following pre-work will allow you to gain more from the workshop, but please attend even if you cannot prepare in this way.
1. Read the article below.
2. Bring to the workshop two things: your laptop, and two copies of the first 500 words (double-spaced) of your grant proposal.
