Calling all REU students, engineering juniors, seniors, graduate students, post-docs, and faculty!

Dr. Westrate, Assistant Vice Provost, Graduate Research & Education at Villanova University had a NSF funded award for over 10 years demonstrating this winning support for upper classmen and new graduate students. “Grants & Fellowships 101” is a version of their scientifically tested training program, and will present some of the best practices in application writing and support—enabling students to be competitive at the highest level, and preparing faculty and staff to support them.
