Personal Statement Writing:
The Personal Statement is an important part of an
application package. 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 will 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.

Curriculum Vitae or Scholarship/Fellowship Resume Writing:
Develop your undergraduate CV/Resume for use in
scholarship, fellowship, research opportunities, and graduate school
applications! A Curriculum Vitae ("CV" or "vitae") is a comprehensive,
biographical statement emphasizing your professional
qualifications and activities. A CV is similar to a resume, but an
advantage to the CV format is the significant freedom to choose the
headings and categories for your information and the strength reflected
in their arrangement. In this workshop you will have
the opportunity to work with Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships
& Awards staff to develop and strengthen a draft of your CV.
