What is GRFP?
The NSF GRFP recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in
NSF-supported STEM disciplines who are pursuing research-based master's and
doctoral degrees at accredited US institutions. The five-year fellowship
includes three years of financial support including an
annual stipend of $34,000 and a cost of education allowance of $12,000 to the institution.
Applicants
GRFP welcomes applications from individuals who are pursuing full-time research-based master's and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or in STEM Education and who meet the eligibility requirements.
Reference Writers
Reference letters are a key component of a strong GRFP application package. The most effective reference letters provide detailed and specific information about how an applicant meets the NSF Merit Review Criteria of Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts.
Reviewers
NSF welcomes scientists and engineers to serve as reviewers of GRFP applications. Serving as a GRFP Reviewer is an excellent opportunity to apply your research and career expertise to help identify future science and engineering leaders.
