The National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) has been in existence for many years. The fellowships are available to students in STEM (social sciences are included) and STEM education, and come with a 3-year stipend and other benefits.
Each NSF GRFP Fellowship is worth more than $100,000. Our speakers, UMBC alums who have been winners themselves, have helped to produce several winners. You can be one of them!
The session is open to all undergraduate students, and first-year graduate students.
IMPORTANT: Please bring a laptop computer.
