National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). This is an incredibly prestigious award that provides significant financial support.
Interested students should begin at the applicant information page http://www.nsfgrfp.org .
The GRFP supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited United States institutions. The program provides up to three years of graduate education support, including an annual $34,000 stipend.
US citizens and permanent residents who are planning to enter graduate school in fall 2020 are eligible (as are those in the first two years of such a graduate program, or who are returning to graduate school after being out for two or more years).
The program solicitation (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=6201 ) contains full details. Note the different deadlines based upon field of study. Generally applications are due the 3rd-4th week of October.
This is a highly competitive program, and the application process is involved, so start early if you plan to apply.
Remember the mandatory Orientation for all new graduate assistants.
The Orientation will be held Wednesday, August 21st in the Simmons Auditorium (Rm 111) from 9:00-2:30. Lunch (pizza) will be provided.
We will be providing you with general campus information, as well as information related to payroll, title IX, and your responsibilities as a GA.
I want to begin by welcoming all new graduate students starting classes this Fall and I want to welcome back all our returning graduate students.
We hope you have a successful semester and we are here to help in whatever way we can.
We will be working to maintain this blog to keep you informed of graduate school events (orientations, boot camps, professional development programming) and deadlines, so please check back frequently.
Thank you for choosing The University of Akron to complete your graduate studies and we look forward to helping you achieve your graduate education goals.
