About FearlessGrad
FearlessGrad is a PhD admissions consulting practice based in Greenville, South Carolina, founded by Dr. Natalie Morse in 2020. We work with applicants to secure PhD and master's offers in top research programs across every field — engineering, psychology, computer science, biomedical sciences, education, linguistics, anthropology, microbiology — in the US and internationally.
Our approach is built on four steps: strategically identifying programs where you're genuinely likely to be admitted, building real relationships with the faculty who make those decisions, marketing your value clearly across your application materials, and interviewing so the offer feels obvious. The networking piece is what makes PhD admissions different from undergrad or MBA admissions, and it's where most applicants leave the most on the table.
Our clients have been admitted to fully funded PhD programs at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Princeton, University College London, Rutgers, and the University of Iowa, securing over $24 million in funding.
What We Believe And Support
A fearless grad is someone who chooses to go to graduate school on their terms.
They know why the PhD serves their life goals and are willing to commit 100%.
A fearless grad knows they bring value to the university, not the other way around.
A fearless grad is free from self-doubt, sabotage and “I cant’s”.
They know they are capable of changing the world and can’t wait to learn and grow during their PhD to become leaders and changemakers.
