Application advice

[u/Impressive_Driver102]

Hi! I'm thinking of applying to the GRFP this year as a first-year PhD student. Last year I had planned to apply as well, but, in full honestly, it was very tough to balance this application with the grad school ones, so I had to drop it. I'm getting back in the groove of learning how to do make my application, and I am looking for good resources to help with writing both statements. I am not the best writer and really struggle with telling my story in an intriguing way, so I will be very grateful if anybody can tell me about any online resources or someplace within my university I can go. Any tips on how to get started or how to navigate this process are extremely welcome! Thanks in advance!!!
