NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
| Description |
|---|
The Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is a National Science Foundation-wide program that provides Fellowships to individuals selected early in their graduate careers based on their demonstrated potential for significant research achievements in STEM or in STEM education. Three years of support is provided by the program for graduate study that leads to a research-based master's or doctoral degree in STEM or STEM education. The program goals are: 1) select, recognize, and financially support, early in their careers, individuals with the demonstrated potential to be high achieving scientists and engineers, and 2) to broaden participation in science and engineering of underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and veterans. Fellowship funding is for a maximum of three years of financial support (in 12-month allocations, starting in summer or fall) usable over a five-year fellowship period. Applicants should be senior undergraduate, first and second year graduate students.
