NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Competition Announced

The National Science Foundation (NSF) will award approximately 900 new Graduate Research Fellowships, including awards offered for women in engineering and computer and information science.

Fellowships are awarded for graduate study leading to research-based master's or doctoral degrees in the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering supported by the NSF. Applicants must be citizens, nationals, or permanent resident aliens of the United States at the time of application.

Each three-year fellowship provides a stipend of $27,500 for 12-month tenures, and a cost-of-education allowance of $10,500 per tenure year.

The NSF welcomes applications from all qualified science, mathematics, or engineering students and strongly encourages women, minorities, and persons with disabilities to compete fully in this program.

Awards will be announced in late March 2004. The NSF contracts with Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) to provide the support services for this prestigious fellowship program.
