NSF Graduate Research Fellowships

The 2011 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) competition is now open.  Some of the deadlines are:

• November 15, 2010 (Monday): Interdisciplinary Fields
• November 19, 2010 (Friday): Geosciences
• November 22, 2010 (Monday): Life Sciences

The competition is not only open to current undergraduates.  In particular, the GRFP website states that "if you...

• are currently in your final year of your undergraduate program
• finished your baccalaureate degree and are planning to attend graduate school in Fall 2011
• are a first year graduate student (started in Fall 2010), or
• are in the first semester of your second year in graduate school (started Fall 2009)...

you are within the eligible amount of completed graduate study. As long as you are pursuing a research-focused Master's or PhD in an NSF-supported field and meet the citizenship requirements, you are eligible for the GRFP."
