Débora's credentials: I received formal training through the University of Houston Office of Major Awards on building a successful NSF-GRFP application. I won the award myself when I was a senior at UH to attend UIUC and have since then been helping my friends/peers with their applications for all sorts of major awards like the NSF-GRFP, Goldwater, Fulbright, SCGSR etc, and I continue to have success with my own applications. I’m also an alumna of the UH Honors College, a top-10, writing-intensive program where I took 20+ hours of coursework on different forms of writing, including a full semester on competitive fellowship/award applications. I recently became one of the UH Office of Major Awards distinguished alumni: https://www.uh.edu/honors/undergraduate-research/alumni/spotlights/
