brownie206 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I will be starting graduate school in the spring (had to postpone entrance for personal reasons). Since I have some free time on my hands, I have started my application for the Ford pre-doctoral fellowship. I am having trouble with the proposal essay. I have some idea of what I am going to be doing during graduate school but I dont have a specific project. How detailed does the proposal essay need to be? At this point I'm thinking of choosing a lab from my program and coming up with a "project." If anyone can share their experience on writing this part of the application. I've searched for sample essays but have not been able to find any. Any information would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I haven't started my essay yet but my plan is to augment and edit my NSF proposal which I am trying to make as detailed as possible. Details speak to your seriousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
