The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program supports outstanding students considered to be potential leaders in science, technology, engineering and math. These students are contributing to the high-impact research, teaching and innovation needed to maintain the nation’s technological strength, security and economic vitality. The new fellows were selected from more than 12,000 applicants and come from all 50 U.S. states, as well as the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
GRFP provides three years of financial support within a five-year fellowship period ‒ $34,000 annual stipend and $12,000 cost-of-education allowance to the graduate institution to support a research-based master’s or doctoral degree in a STEM field.
