The purpose of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program is to help ensure the vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce in the United States. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees in fields within NSF’s mission. The GRFP provides three years of support for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant achievements in science and engineering research.

The INTERNAL/CUNY deadline is 2 weeks prior to the NSF deadline and should be done through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. If you have any questions, please contact Edith Gonzalez, of the ORSP, at egonzalez3@gc.cuny.edu. You can read more about the NSF and the GRFP here.
