Earlier this month, 504 applicants were selected from the 2025 GRFP Honorable Mention list and awarded fully-funded fellowships. This development brings the total number of awards this year to 1,500. 

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported STEM disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited U.S. institutions. The five-year fellowship includes three years of financial support including an annual stipend and a cost of education allowance to the institution.
