The NSF GRFP offers 3 years of stipend support during a 5-year fellowship tenure to applicants selected through a national competition.
Congratulations also go to students receiving honorable mentions this year: Patrick Muljadi (Andarawis-Puri Lab), Gaetano Scuderi (Butcher lab), Rose Buchmann (Erickson Lab), Jason Chang (Andarawis-Puri Lab), Jeremy Keys (Lammerding Lab), and Hania Koziol (Putnam Lab).
GRFP supports the graduate study of U.S. citizens, nationals and permanent residents attaining research-based master's and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) or in STEM education at institutions located in the United States. Applicants are selected through the NSF peer review process. Awardees represent a wide range of scientific disciplines and come from all states, as well as the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and territories. The group of awardees is diverse. A complete list of those offered the fellowship for 2018 is available on FastLane. For general information about the program, visit NSF's GRFP website.
