Registration is now open for a Sept. 10 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 that demonstrate the potential to make significant contributions in their field. These students receive three years of financial support, including an annual stipend of $37,000, as well as professional development and research opportunities. 

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. 10 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. over Zoom. It will feature faculty who have served as GRFP proposal reviewers at NSF and writing instructors, and recent GRFP winners. Registration for the event is required. 

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join. If you can’t join the workshop on Sept. 10, a video recording will be available to all registered participants after it is completed. 

More information about the NSF GRFP opportunity, including discipline-specific deadlines, can be found on the NSF website.
