NSF Graduate Research Fellowship

The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program provides “three years of support…for graduate study that leads to a research-based master's or doctoral degree in science or engineering…The program goals are 1) to select, recognize, and financially support individuals early in their careers 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. GRFP is a critical program in NSF's overall strategy to develop the globally-engaged workforce necessary to ensure the Nation's leadership in advancing science and engineering research and innovation.” Source: NSF GRFP Solicitation.
