What is the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship?
The purpose of the NSF GRFP is to help ensure the vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce in the United States. The program is a wonderful source of funding for graduate students - providing awardees with $34,000 annually for three years, as well as additional benefits. NSF GRF Fellows at the University of Arizona receive full tuition, mandatory fees, student health insurance for the Fellow, and a $500 travel grant during tenured years. For more information, please review the following website: http://www.nsfgrfp.org

What are the NSF GRFP general eligibility requirements?

*         U.S. citizen, national or permanent resident by date of application submission

*         Admitted to a research-focused Master's or Ph.D. program in an NSF-supported field by the time the funding begins

*         Completed no more than twelve (12) months of full-time graduate, post-baccalaureate or professional study by August 1, 2017 (this usually means that the student is an undergraduate senior, first year graduate student, or second year graduate student)
