Welcome!
The Stanford Neuroscience Application Assistance Program (SNAAP) is a volunteer-run organization led by Stanford University graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and staff. Throughout the academic year, SNAAP offers one-on-one PhD interview and application review services, organizes community-building events, and provides general application advice to help demystify the process of applying to graduate school. Our team at SNAAP is committed to bettering the scientific community by broadening participation in science education. We recognize that there is an implicit knowledge gap and inequitable access to resources amongst students from differing backgrounds, and hope that mentorship from individuals with firsthand experience in the application process can help bridge this gap.
