Some Advice

• Read through the application first. For those parts of the application that involve other people (transcript, references, etc.), ask for their help right away. Don’t wait until the last minute.
• Filling out this application is going to take some work. But chances are that it would take less time than a summer job and it could be more rewarding!
• Be creative, show us what you can do, and have fun! If you need help, please contact mlkccsdedugrants@gmail.com.
