All About the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program Application
Thursday, May 21, 2026
5:00 PM-6:00 PM
The National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) provides selected fellows with three years of funding, including a living stipend and tuition funds, to support the research phase of their doctoral degree in STEM, social sciences, or STEM education.
The current application cycle is open to US citizens and permanent residents planning to begin a research-focused graduate program in Fall 2027, or who will be in the 1st year of a PhD program in Fall 2026. BS-MS students planning to continue on to a PhD program are only eligible to apply in their final year of BS-MS study (and not as first year doctoral students).
This information session will cover the necessary application components, how to plan for a strong application, application resources available at Drexel, and some application tips from recent GRFP Fellow Lotus Shareef-Trudeau.
