GRADUATE SCHOOL

Graduate school preparation retreats
The Graduate School Preparation Retreat is hosted annually at one of the VA-NC Alliance's partner institutions. Retreat workshops included: completing the graduate application, crafting a personal statement, securing letters of recommendation, and exploring funding opportunities. At the end of this retreat, students develop a better understanding of the graduate school application process, and complete at least one graduate school application. Student feedback from the graduate school preparation retreats:
- "I learned a great deal about graduate school and the tasks that should be completed."
- "I was able to finish my personal statement, so I'm more prepared for graduate school."
- "I learned a lot, especially about where I stand now and what I need to know."
Additional graduate school funding opportunities:
Postdoc funding opportunities:
- The Underrepresented Minority Postdoctoral Enrichment Program award provides $50,000 over three years to support the development of a URM postdoctoral fellow in a degree-granting institution. Individual URM postdoctoral fellows conducting biomedical or medical research are eligible to apply (deadline: January 15, 2013). http://www.bwfund.org/pages/669/URM-Program-Application/
