Science and Engineering Scholarships and Fellowships Blog

The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program website offers an extensive amount of information on every topic pertaining to the program. Potential applicants can read about the program, where they will learn that the GRFP caters to graduate students in the science, technology, and mathematics fields. They can also read more about the statistics from the program’s past three years. And learn, for example, that about 10 percent of all applicants received an award.

There are also many resources available to current applicants. Those who are seeking assistance with their application (which are due in early November) should view the tips for applying section. GRFP resource persons are volunteers at universities across the country, who have experience with the program in different capacities. Most will either be current or past fellows, fellowship advisors, or professors.
