We are members of the CSU community, and we know that CSU students are a perfect fit for the GRFP (not to mention we want to see more CSU wins!) Applying for a GRF brings huge benefits to students and the institution:
- Students learn scientific writing skills through applying
- The application easily converts into grad school applications
- Telling their stories gives students a sense of self-efficacy, and a vision for their future research
- MA students can use their fellowships to fund their MA, and then take it with them to fund a PhD
- Faculty get an externally funded research assistant
- Programs with GFRP funded students can admit more students.
