ARE YOU PLANNING GRADUATE STUDIES TOWARD A PH.D. IN SCIENCE, MATH, ENGINEERING, SOCIAL, OR BEHAVIORAL FIELDS?
The NSF Graduate
Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) is the largest and one of the most
prestigious awards available to support graduate studies toward Ph.D.’s in
science, math, engineering, and social/behavioral fields. The NSF award
provides 3 years of support, with an annual stipend of $34,000. You can learn
more about the NSF award at www.nsfgrfp.org
Eligibility: You
must be a US citizen or Permanent Resident to apply for the NSF graduate
research fellowship. You must be applying for graduate studies in an NSF
supported field.
Deadlines to
apply will be in late October 2017 for NSF GRFP awards . Planning early give
you your best chance of success!
IMPORTANT:
Students may apply TWICE for the NSF GRFP - once before starting graduate
studies, and once during the first two years of graduate study. To enhance your
chance of success is it essential to apply at each opportunity.
We are offering
two early NSF GRFP information sessions for students planning to apply this Fall
2017 or in subsequent years. Current undergraduates at all levels and recent
alumni are welcome to attend, as are those who will be first or second year
graduate students in Fall 2017.
