CSE Undergrad News

From Todd Schiller, tws [@] cs.washington.edu:

We’ll be holding the NSF fellowship application workshop on Thursday (October 11th) at 2:30pm in CSE 303.

The workshop is a great opportunity to hear from past fellowship winners who applied during graduate school, meet with other students applying for the fellowship, and read essays from winning applications.

UW CSE has had a great track record of NSF winners. If you applied before while you were an undergrad, don’t be discouraged: you have a better chance of getting a fellowship as a graduate student.

Let me know if you have any questions. If you can’t make it, let me know and I’ll make sure you get copies of all the information.

TO:    Seniors, First Year and beginning of Second Year Graduate Students

(Undergrads are encouraged to attend, it’s never too early to plan for your submittal!)
