About

The Graduate Application Initiative is a workshop program and online resource dedicated to helping students apply to graduate programs in the Humanities and Social Sciences within North America. Begun in April 2019 with the support of the Gurmani Centre for Literature at Languages at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), our program is divided into two parts. In late summer of each year, we host a workshop and information session in Lahore, Pakistan, to help inform and guide prospective students on the best practices for applying to graduate school. Apart from this, we also curate a guide and set of resources for the process from which prospective students may learn. The latter are hosted on this website.

The program is the initiative of doctoral students at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Toronto respectively. The organizers may be reached via email at lumsgradworkshop@gmail.com. Please bear in mind this inbox is monitored only periodically outside May-August.
