Storrs Campus Rowe 405
Drop-in to ask questions about NSF GRFP! Attend any time during the 2-hour session.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) funds graduate study within the United States leading to research-based master’s and doctoral degrees in specific STEM and social sciences disciplines, including Chemistry, Computer & Information Sciences and Engineering, Geosciences, Life Sciences, Materials Research, Mathematical Sciences, Physics & Astronomy, Psychology, Social Sciences, and STEM Education & Learning Research.
The GRFP provides up to three years of support for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant achievements in science and engineering research. The GRFP supports over 100 subfields.
The program goals are: 1) to select, recognize, and financially support early-career individuals with the demonstrated potential to be high achieving scientists and engineers, and 2) to broaden participation in science and engineering of women, persons who are members of groups historically underrepresented in STEM, persons with disabilities, and veterans. NSF actively encourages women, persons who are members of groups historically underrepresented in STEM, persons with disabilities, veterans, and undergraduate seniors to apply. -
