Peer-to-Peer Grant Application Help

**If you wish to be a GRANT ADVISOR, please register below.**

Navigating the Grant offers peer-to-peer grant help to students currently applying for grants. This program connects grad student Grant Advisors who have won specific grants in the past with grad students currently applying for grants (Grant Advisees) in order to provide one-on-one help with the application process. There is no fee associated with this program.

Interested graduate student grant applicants must be in the process of applying for a grant and should register below. Currently, we are only offering advising help for certain grants. Registrants will be contacted within 5 business days by the NavGrant Fellow and notified whether an appropriate Grant Advisor has been found. Then, the Grant Advisee must submit an in-progress application to the Grad Center to be reviewed by the Grant Advisor. After the review, the Grant Advisor will meet for one hour with the Grant Advisee to review the application and offer constructive criticism, insight, and advice. This is an opportunity for you to 'workshop' your grant application with someone who has been sucessful with the same grant!

PLEASE NOTE: We make every effort to match applicants with Grant Advisors, but we have a limited number of Advisors. Please be aware that by registering you are not guaranteed a one-on-one session. You will hear within 5 business days if we were able (or unable) to match you.

Be a NavGrant Peer Advisor!

We are now soliciting for Grant Advisors who have won a variety of different grants! If you have won a grant that is not listed, please select other and list the grant(s) you are capable of advising.

What a Grant Advisor does:
A grant advisor helps the student who is applying for a grant by 1) reading the student's already completed materials and 2) sitting down with the student for an hour to offer suggestions, field questions, etc. drawing on your own knowledge of the grant process. We envision (1) and (2) taking 1 hour each for a total of 2 hours per student. The current maximum is 5 students, i.e., you can earn up to but no more than $250.

What a grant advisor earns:
• $50 for each student
• the graduate community's and our undying gratitude
• props for your CV
• a good warm fuzzy feeling for helping a fellow student!
