Fellowship Coaching Request Form

    Thank you for your interest in fellowship coaching: we're delighted to support you and your fellowship endeavors!

    Our goal is to help you develop a competitive application by providing you with guidance, structure, and encouragement. Graduate Fellowship Coaches support all stages of the application writing process, from brainstorming to revising advanced drafts. 

    We highly recommend applicants begin working with a coach early in their writing process.

    Requests for coaching must be made at least 3 weeks prior to the fellowship deadline. Coaching is only available for external (non-Rice) fellowships.

    If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Randi McInerney (rm62@rice.edu).
    All fields are required.
