UC Santa Barbara's Graduate Division would like to congratulate and recognize the 19 graduate students who received an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program Grant and the 17 graduate students who received honorable mentions. The GRFP is one of the most preeminent honors that a young scholar can receive. In addition to the distinction, the GRFP provides research security and freedom by providing graduate students with $138,000 over three years.
The vast majority of âthe awardees attended the NSF GRFP Series by Dr. Robby Nadler, Graduate Writing Specialist. For students interested in applying this year, Dr. Nadler âis holding a mini GRFP series at the end of âthe month. Sign up for the series here!
