I want to encourage you to take a leap!
When I see calls for proposals, grants, fellowship opportunities, my first thought is often "no, I'm not nearly qualified enough, they're not talking about ME." I let the voice inside of my head talk me out of even applying. Thankfully, there have been so many in this wonderful ASP-ish community that have encouraged me to take that leap.
I know I have discussed this with many of our colleagues, and I am not alone in this thought process. I'm not sure what leads us to believe we are not qualified, or that our ideas are not good enough. But we can't let that voice inside of our head prevent us from applying for fantastic opportunities. All of us give such great advice to our students about overcoming imposter syndrome and gaining confidence. I'm here to give you the similar kick in teh pants, and encourage you to take that leap!
So, I'm encouraging you to take that leap! Apply for the grant here: https://memphis.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dmMc9N24p1roDLo
If you are a grant recipient, you will receive two mentors to assist you in the drafting of your article. This makes the grant a fantastic opportunity for those of you that are nervous about writing law review articles. We also understand that scholarship can be an ongoing process, so remember that to apply your ideas and thoughts need not be perfect.
