CS PhD Students:
Are you planning to apply for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program?
This prestigious national fellowship comes with $34,000 in funding support for each of three active years, a $12,000 cost-of-education allowance during those active years, in addition to other resources, and research and internship opportunities.
For computer science PhD students planning to apply, the department can arrange to have a prior CS NSF GRFP winner review your materials and provide feedback to strengthen your application.
Please email Michelle Wellens to arrange your participation in this peer review process.
Your materials must be received by 11:59 PM on Tuesday, October 13, 2020--one week prior to the NSF GRFP deadline.
Please explore the Prestigious Graduate Fellowship Information page on the CS Student Awards Wiki. We have assembled a number of helpful resources, including examples of past winners' materials. There are also links to the many Graduate College NSF GRFP resources, such as a video info session and how to sign up for individualized advising.
Note: NSF guidelines have recently changed and only allow you to submit an application once during your tenure as a graduate student. While waiting a year to submit may be in your best interest, getting an early start to prepare for an application is encouraged.
