@SUBWAY

Subway is offering free sandwiches for life to someone who is willing to legally change their first name to ‘Subway.’

The contest will choose a random winner, who will then be given $750 to go through with the name change and cover legal fees.

As promised, a thread on my personal advice for the NSF GRFP application!
It was a long and exhausting process but I’m glad I did it and that I get to share what I learned here.

That’s it!
As a note, this comes from a very specific experience and based on only 4 reviewers feedback. Everyone’s experiences with the fellowship will be different and could even be opposite to my own feedback!
