We are delighted to match you with a Princeton Neuroscience Institute graduate student who would be happy to help review your application material! Amongst the resources we hope to offer are 1-on-1 mentorship and a comprehensive view of the program and its resources. EPSP aspires to build and support an inclusive, accessible, and diverse community for underrepresented groups and their allies at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute.

Our application support group is a student-run initiative led by the EPSP (for more information on EPSP please visit the visitor website) The intention of this initiative is to provide support to prospective applicants. All personal information will be kept confidential and will not be shared with Princeton University faculty and administration. Participation in this program will not guarantee admission to the PNI Neuroscience Program (for more information on criteria selection for the program please visit our graduate program website: https://pni.princeton.edu/graduate-program/ph.d.-neuroscience)
