Fellowship and Grant Writing Support

The Graduate School Center for Writing and Oral Communication provides support for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars seeking funding from both external sources (grants and fellowships) and those applying for University of Maryland based fellowships and funding opportunities. 

Writing Fellows receive specific training to support those applying for funding opportunities across disciplines, and Fellows have successfully applied for a wide variety of fellowships (including the NSF GRFP, the AAUW Dissertation Fellowship, and the Wylie Dissertation Fellowship) and grants from agencies including Maryland Sea Grant, US AID, and the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory.  

To schedule a consultation with a Writing Fellow to discuss a funding proposal, see the directions to Request a Consultation, and be sure to provide information about your applications. 

We also offer a range of workshops about applying to both internal and external funding opportunities; look for details on our Workshops page. 

If students in your department or program typically apply for specific funding opportunities, we can support your students by designing a workshop tailored to applying for those opportunities. To find out more, please contact Dr. Linda Macri.
