The Funding Development Framework.

One framework, two tracks: grant development infrastructure for faculty and programs, and fellowship and narrative development for undergraduate and graduate students. Understanding your program impacts, allocation of funding, and measuring metrics that matter places you in a position of strength to secure funding.

Essay Development Coaching

One-on-one coaching to brainstorm, outline, and develop compelling essays for scholarships, programs, and admissions.

Featured offering

Essay Revisions

Two rounds of professional revisions for one student-authored transfer-application essay — for example, a data science student moving from one university into an information science program elsewhere.

$240

Fixed fee · 2 rounds + consultation

Round 1

Substantive Review

We review your initial draft for prompt alignment, transfer rationale, organization, clarity, and use of relevant experiences — then deliver an annotated draft with suggested edits and revision priorities.

After Round 1

30-Minute Consultation

We meet to walk through the feedback, clarify comments, discuss revision priorities, and answer questions before you prepare your second-round draft.

Round 2

Revision & Polishing

We review your revised draft once — refining flow, concision, tone, grammar, and mechanics, and checking the word limit — and deliver an edited draft with comments plus a clean revised copy.

  • Each round covers one review of one submitted version of the same essay; additional essays, revision rounds, or consultations are quoted separately.
  • You remain the primary author and stay responsible for factual accuracy and final submission — we never write essays from scratch or fabricate experiences.
  • Work begins once the engagement is signed and your editable draft, prompt, word limit, and deadline are shared; admission is not guaranteed.

Ready to start? Pay securely online and we'll confirm your Round 1 schedule by email.
