This Sept. 6 workshop will feature past winners, writing instructors and NSF GRFP proposal reviewers.
Registration is now open for a Sept. 6 workshop meant to prepare eligible graduate students to apply for one of the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s most prestigious fellowships: the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP).
The GRFP recognizes outstanding graduate students from across the country in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields by providing three years of financial support, including an annual stipend of $37,000, as well as professional development and research opportunities. By doing so, this fellowship paves the way for continued work exploring some of the most complex and pressing issues of our time.
The University of Colorado Boulder consistently ranks in the top fifteen universities in terms of the number of GRFPs awarded to students. A major contributor to that success is this annual workshop, which is open to all eligible students interested in applying.
This year’s workshop will be Sept. 6 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. over Zoom. It will feature faculty who have served as GRFP proposal reviewers at NSF and writing instructors, and recent GRFP winners. Registration is required, even if you cannot attend the workshop day of (the session will be recorded).
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join.
More information about the NSF GRFP opportunity, including discipline-specific deadlines, can be found on the NSF website. A video recording of the workshop will be available to registered participants after it is completed.
