The National Science Foundation‘s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) helps ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science and engineering in the United States and reinforces its diversity. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited US institutions. The NSF welcomes applications from all qualified students and strongly encourages under-represented populations, including women, under-represented racial and ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities, to apply for this fellowship.
The GRFP Fellows receive three years of support, $32,000 annual stipend, $12,000 cost-of-education allowance to the institution, XSEDE Supercomputer access, and international research opportunities, and professional development opportunities.
