For GRFP Fellows

Whether you are a current or past fellow, let us congratulate you on winning a prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship.  As you know, it takes hours of dedication and hard work to produce a winning application.

In this section, we invite you to share your experiences and knowledge of the application process with future GRFP applicants.  A few ways you can do this are by volunteering to help applicants build a strong application, and by helping to promote the GRFP.

During the course of the academic year, we travel to institutions and conferences in order to meet and discuss the GRFP with students, fellows , faculty , and staff.  During these visits, if you are interested in attending a presentation and sharing your experiences, we welcome you to do so.

*If you are a current fellow with questions or issues regarding your fellowship, please contact the NSF program office at (703) 292-8694.
