AAHHE Graduate Student Fellowship Program (GSFP) Webinar
Submitting with Intention: Crafting a Strong GSFP Application
Thursday, February 5, 2026
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PST
Description
Ready to apply to the AAHHE Graduate Student Fellows Program? This webinar is designed to help you craft a compelling and authentic application that reflects both your scholarship and your story. The GSFP Leadership Team will walk through each section of the application, share tips for standing out, and discuss what we look for when selecting a cohort rooted in justice, representation, and relational leadership.
This session will also help you reflect on how your research, identity, and institutional context align with the GSFP’s mission of centering equity and transforming higher education through community and praxis. When we say “submit with intention,” we mean approaching your application with reflection and purpose — not just focusing on what you’ve done, but why you’ve done it, who you do it for, and how it connects to the collective work of reimagining Latinidad in higher education. Intention asks you to ground your application in authenticity, clarity, and alignment with the values that drive both your personal journey and the GSFP community.
Takeaway
Participants will leave with practical tools, insights, and examples to submit a strong and intentional application — one that demonstrates purpose, authenticity, and alignment with the GSFP’s mission — honoring both their individuality and their contribution to collective transformation.
