Am I Eligible

(From the NSF-GRFP website)

To be eligible for the NSF GRFP, you must:

• Must, at the time of submission, be a U.S. citizen, national, or a permanent resident (“green-card” holder)
• Must intend to enroll or be enrolled full-time in an eligible research-based master's or doctoral degree program in an eligible field of study in STEM, including STEM education (See Appendix and Section IV.3 for eligible Fields of Study);
• Never have previously accepted a Graduate Research Fellowship;
• Have declined any previously offered Graduate Research Fellowship by the deadline (if applicable);
• Have completed less than one academic year in a graduate degree program (according to the institution’s academic calendar; non-degree coursework must be clearly identified in the transcript and does not count toward this limit). This means individuals in the following statuses at the time of application are eligible:
  • Level 1: Undergraduate in the final (senior) year of a bachelor’s degree program
  • Level 1: Bachelor’s degree-holder with NO enrollment in a graduate degree program (non-degree graduate coursework allowed)
  • Level 2: Individual enrolled in a joint bachelor’s-master’s degree program with at least three undergraduate years completed
  • Level 2: First-year graduate student in their first graduate degree program with less than one academic year completed in the degree program (according to institution’s academic calendar)
• Individuals enrolled in joint bachelor’s-master’s degree programs are considered graduate students. For GRFP, joint bachelor’s-master’s degrees are defined as degrees concurrently pursued and awarded.
• Not be a current NSF employee.
