NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program Information Session

Co-hosted by the UK Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR)

Are you planning to pursue a graduate degree in STEM? Are you a first-year STEM graduate student? If so, you may be eligible for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program, which provides funding for 3 years of grad school!

The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Info Session will introduce attendees to the NSF-GRFP program, application process, and application tips. The NSF-GRFP is a prestigious grant awarded annually to approximately 2,000 students pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, psychology, social science disciplines, and mathematics (STEM) and STEM education fields within NSF’s mission.

We will review the fellowship benefits (including an annual stipend of $37K), application requirements, and timeline. 

All UK students and those visiting from other schools engaged in undergraduate research activities and creative works are eligible to attend the event, including mentors (PIs, graduate students, and postdocs) — regardless of funding source or formal program affiliation.

The OUR will provide food for those attending in person.  We will also offer a Zoom option for those that cannot attend in person.
