[NABS-L] Discussion Starter

[johnawright98 at gmail.com]

Hey, students! 

It’s me, your social media girl, again! I thought I would post another discussion starter, since you all were very engaged in our last one. For this one, I want to focus on scholarships and fellowships. Are there any scholarships or fellowships you’re thinking of applying for? Have you already been awarded a scholarship or fellowship? Do you know any tips and/or tricks to writing a great scholarship essay? For me personally, I am currently applying for a Gilman Study Abroad Scholarship in hopes of studying psychology abroad this coming summer. I think the most important thing about the essay is to research your field and any potential programs and include that in your application essay. 

I cannot wait to hear about your experiences!
