The National Science Foundation is offering approximately 1,000 graduate fellowships in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The Graduate Research Fellowship provides three years of support for graduate study leading to research-based master's or doctoral degrees and is intended for students who are at the early stages of their graduate study. The Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) invests in graduate education for a cadre of diverse individuals who demonstrate their potential to complete graduate degree programs in disciplines relevant to the mission of the National Science Foundation successfully.

Fellowship applications must be submitted by the prospective Fellow. Applicants must register with FastLane (http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov) prior to submitting an application and must affiliate with an accredited United States university, college, or nonprofit academic institution or appropriate international institution of higher education offering advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics prior to activating the Fellowship award. We hope that you will bring this opportunity to the attention of students in your department. For further information see:
