Interested in a $37,000 stipend and graduate school tuition and fees paid for 3 years? Would you like a prestigious honor on your CV? Are you an undergraduate considering graduate school (masters or PhD) or 1st year graduate student in STEM or the social sciences (including STEM education) & a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident? If you answered yes to all these questions, then you should apply for the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP).
The purpose of the GRFP is to ensure the quality, vitality, and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States and is one of the most preeminent honors that a young scholar can receive. In addition to joining a league of exceptional scholars dedicated to shaping the future of science and engineering in the United States, the GRFP provides research security and freedom by providing graduate students with three years of financial support inclusive of an annual stipend of $37,000. The NSF is interested in funding more than great research: you and your work must contribute to the greater good, ensuring that your work resonates beyond academia and into the broader community. Let us walk you through this style of writing and prepare you to craft a winning set of statements.
