General Information
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowships (GRFP) provide support for outstanding graduate students who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees in fields within NSF’s mission. The GRFP provides up to three years of support for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant achievements in the fields of science, technology, mathematics, and engineering.
U.S. citizens, nationals or permanent residents who are in the early stages of their graduate study are eligible to apply during the senior year of college, prior to or during the first year of graduate school, or prior to completing the fall term of the second year of graduate school.
The GRFP encourages applications from underrepresented groups—including women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and veterans—in order to broaden and diversify those participating in science and engineering.
