Applying for scholarships, internships, and
graduate/professional programs often requires a personal statement or
application letter. This type of writing requires you to outline your
strengths confidently and concisely, which can be challenging.
Personal Statement Workshops provide students with essential
information to develop an understanding of not only writing about their
interests, eligibility and suitability for applications, but also to
learn how their statements provide evidence of their achievements
that aren’t reflected in other parts of an application.
