Applying for Fellowships and Residencies

Struggling to write a personal statement? Have no idea where to get started for grad school, a fellowship, or residency applications? Beyond the writing sample, we can carefully craft statements that align with institutions and audiences, and represent us in an authentic way. In this workshop, we’ll go through a few successful sample personal statements, and talk through how writers might represent themselves and their values "on paper." Come with a goal, or a draft, or not!
