Are you thinking about graduate school? Getting ready to develop your application, but not sure where to start? Curious about how to apply for graduate fellowships? We are here to help!
This hands-on workshop is open to all BA Honours, Specialization, and Major History students as well as our first-year MA History students who would like to learn about things to consider before applying to graduate school; how to compare schools and program requirements; how to develop a persuasive statement of purpose; how to request letters of reference; and how to navigate the application process for graduate fellowships. Participants will be provided with models of successful grant applications – courtesy of program graduates who have obtained federal (SSHRC) and/or provincial (FQRSC) funding.
Senior MA History students will join the conversation to reflect on their experiences. The workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Barbara Lorenzkowski (Public History Program Director) and Dr. Matthew Penney (Graduate Program Director).
