NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Are you planning or pursuing graduate studies toward a Ph.D. in life or
physical sciences, math, engineering, or social/behavioral sciences?

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
