Applying to graduate school is not an intuitive process and students are often limited in their access to resources to help guide them through the process. This program breaks down each part of the application process and provides direct feedback on application materials and helps students navigate the process with confidence. 90% of past participants have matriculated in R1 institutions.

The program is FREE. We want to ensure that funding is not a barrier to access to this support.

If you are interested in the program, we ask you to apply by using the application link (see above). Because our staff provide a high degree of hands on support to participants during the application process, we are unable to accept all applicants into our program.

We prioritize students who have strong academic and research records with clearly articulated goals for how they would like to leverage a graduate education to contribute to their fields of interest. We also look for students who are prepared to fully participate in the program.

Students who are not accepted into the Pathways to Graduate School program are offered the opportunity to join the Hidden Curriculum Series. Hidden Curriculum is a series of open access virtual workshops covering the fundamentals of the application process. These workshops are hosted in the fall. While these workshops don’t provide the in depth, ongoing support offered to Pathways participants, they do demystify the application process and offers tips to help you craft stronger materials for review.
