Graduate students can apply now for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program that provides stipends for students beginning their graduate career. 

Eligible students have completed less than one year of academic study or are returning to graduate study after an interruption of at least two years. 

The five-year fellowship provides three years of support. NSF provides a stipend of $34,000 to the fellow and a cost-of-education allowance of $12,000 to the graduate degree-granting institution for each fellow.

Deadlines range from October 21 to October 25, depending on area of study. Details here.

Please note that you submit the applications yourself via Research.gov. Contact the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs for any internal or external funding related questions.

If awarded, the NSF fellowship must be run through The Graduate Center’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs as the GC is the degree-granting institution.
