NSF Graduate Research Fellowship

Included are some application materials for the NSF GRFP, which I was awarded in 2026 for geosciences - physical oceanography. One big piece of advice is to work on your research proposal with a professor (either one you are working with currently or a potential PI). Also start as early as you can! I began preparing my personal background and future goals statement over the summer, way before the solicitation for the current year was updated.
