NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program

As an educator, you play a critical role in the promotion of the GRFP.  By reviewing applications as a panelist, giving presentations at your institution, and mentoring those students wishing to apply, the support you provide is invaluable to the applicants' success.  Included in this section are all of the resources needed to get involved with the GRFP.  You can download promotional materials or register as a potential panelist or register as a guide to help students at your institution.
