The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship deadlines are approaching. Fellowships support research-based graduate study in math, computer and information science, social science, psychology, geosciences, life sciences, chemistry, physics, astronomy, engineering, and interdisciplinary programs. Applications are due in early November (deadlines vary by program).

"The National Science Foundation aims to ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the United States and to reinforce its diversity by offering approximately 1,654 graduate fellowships in this competition pending availability of funds. The Graduate Research Fellowship provides three years of support for graduate study leading to research-based master’s or doctoral degrees and is intended for students who are in the early stages of their graduate study. The Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) invests in graduate education for a cadre of diverse individuals who demonstrate their potential to successfully complete graduate degree programs in disciplines relevant to the mission of the National Science Foundation."
