The Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is a National Science
Foundation-wide program that provides Fellowships to individuals
selected early in their graduate careers based on their demonstrated
potential for significant research achievements in science, technology,
engineering or mathematics (STEM) or in STEM education. Three years of
support is provided by the program for graduate study that leads to a
research-based master's or doctoral degree in STEM or STEM education.
The program goals are:
1) To select, recognize, and financially support, early in their
careers, individuals with the demonstrated potential to be high
achieving scientists and engineers.
2) To broaden participation in science and engineering of
underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, persons with
disabilities, and veterans. NSF especially encourages women, members of
underrepresented minority groups, persons with disabilities, veterans,
and undergraduate seniors to apply.
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. The ranks
of NSF Fellows include numerous individuals who have made transformative
breakthrough discoveries in science and engineering, become leaders in
their chosen careers, and been honored as Nobel laureates.
The NSF expects to award 2,000 Graduate Research Fellowships per fiscal
year under this program solicitation pending availability of funds.
Fellowship funding will be for a maximum of three years of financial
support (in 12-month allocations, starting in summer or fall) usable
over a five-year fellowship period. The anticipated announcement date
for the Fellowship awards is early April each year.
The institution receives up to a $46,000 award per Fellow who uses the
fellowship support in a fellowship year. The Graduate Research
Fellowship stipend is currently $34,000 for a 12-month tenure period,
prorated in whole month increments of $2,833. The cost-of-education
allowance to the institution is currently $12,000 per year of fellowship
support.
Eligible applicants include:
1) Undergraduates or post baccalaureates not enrolled in graduate school
and who will have adequate preparation to attend graduate school in the
fall that begins after they apply to GRFP; or
2) Graduate students who have not completed more than 12 months of a
graduate program in a supported field of study.
