We invite you to join Dr. Sheryl Ann Tucker, a Former Director of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) on September 12, 2014 to learn about this graduate fellowship program for students who are pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees in science and engineering. There are two meeting types available, small group session and large group session. Space is limited, RSVP to reserve your spot.
What is the GRFP? The purpose of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is to help ensure the vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees in science and engineering. The GRFP provides three years of support for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant achievements in science and engineering. For more information go to: http://www.nsfgrfp.org/.
Who should attend the information sessions? The information sessions are open to all interested parties. GRFP applications for are accepted for a wide range of disciplines including: chemistry, computer and information science and engineering (cise), engineering, geosciences, life sciences, materials research, mathematical sciences, physics and astronomy, psychology, social sciences, stem education and learning research. Those who are strongly encouraged to attend, include eligible graduate students in their first or second year, eligible senior undergraduate students who seek to enroll in graduate schools, and faculty who wish to learn about the NSF fellowship program and gain an insider perspective. For more information go to: http://www.nsfgrfp.org/.
This event is sponsored by the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Please share this invitation and the attached flier widely.
