Fellowship Coaching Request Form

    Thank you for your interest in fellowship coaching.

    GPS' Fellowship Writing Coaches are available to support you through your application writing process. You do not need to wait until you have completed a draft to request a coach: we recommend applicants begin working with a coach early in their writing process.

    Please note the following:
    - Coaching is only available for external (non-Rice) fellowships.
    - All requests for coaching must be made at least 3 weeks prior to the fellowship deadline.
    - Those applying for NSF GRFP or DoD NDSEG should request coaching at least 6 weeks before the deadline.

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