The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) awards three-year fellowships for graduate study in mathematical, physical, biological, engineering and behavioral and social sciences, including the history of science. There are awards for women in engineering, awards for women in computer information science and graduate fellowships. This fellowship carries a stipend of $34,000 per year plus tuition waivers and fees for three years. Applications are available online and part one of the application is due in early October.
Candidates must have research experience. All NSF GRFP applications are evaluated using NSF’s two merit review criteria: Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts. In order to present a competitive application, you must address both merit review criteria thoroughly. The Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals Statement and the Graduate Research Statement should both reflect these criteria.
Various dates based on discipline throughout October each year. Consult the program solicitation on the NSF website.
Apply using the Research.gov portal.
