Do you need to write a personal statement for a scholarship, research or graduate school application but aren’t sure where to start? Do you need to prepare a CV or academic resume, but aren’t sure what it is or what should be on it? Consider attending an upcoming workshop offered by the Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards:
Personal Statement Workshops
The Personal Statement is an important part of all applications for scholarships, internships, or graduate/professional programs. This type of writing requires you to outline your strengths confidently and concisely, which can be challenging. These Personal Statement Workshops will provide you with essential information to begin writing about your interests, eligibility, and suitability.
Space is limited, so please register for one of these workshops at:

- October 21, 2009 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm, Mary Gate 191 A
- December 2, 2009 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm, Mary Gate 191 A
CV Writing Workshops
Develop your undergraduate CV/Resume for use in scholarship, fellowship, research opportunities and graduate school applications. These workshops will aid students in the development of a Curriculum Vitae (“CV” or “vitae”). A CV is similar to a resume, but allows students to take advantage of a free format, to reflect the strength of their achievements.
Students interested in the workshop should bring a working draft, such as an existing resume, a list of activities, honors, awards, and prizes, received no longer than 5 years ago, academic and research activities, community service involvement, work history, and activities outside of the academic environment.
