National
Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) Workshops
for First Year PhD Students and Rising Seniors
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards
three-year scholarships for graduate study in mathematical, physical,
biological, engineering, and behavioral and social sciences, including the
history of science. This fellowship carries a stipend of $32,000 per year plus
a cost of education allowance to cover tuition and fees for three years. This
is a significant graduate fellowship that affords students the freedom to focus
on their research and lessen the time to degree completion.
To qualify,
applicants must be U.S. citizens, have U.S. national status or be permanent
residents, and intend to pursue a research-based master’s or PhD program in an
NSF-supported field. Applications become available in August and the deadlines
vary by discipline but are generally in late October and early November.
You will learn
about review criteria for the NSF GRFP and other awards, what the review panels
are looking for and how to write a strong research proposal.

Preparation Program:
SUNY is sponsoring a series of three webinars to prepare rising
senior undergraduates and first-and second-year graduate students
in STEM fields to apply to NSF’s prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship
Program (GRFP). Because it takes time to put together a winning application,
we will hold the series from July 23-31 so that students can get started over
the summer for the October deadlines. Webinars will be conducted by Prof.
Susan Brennan of Stony Brook University (recently returned from NSF). Webinar
topics are as follows:
Webinar #1: Applying to NSF’s Graduate Research
Fellowship Program Tues July
23, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM (1.5 hours)
Webinar #2: Winning Strategies for GRFP (and How to
Get Started) Thurs July 25, 2:00 PM –
3:30 PM (1.5 hours)
Webinar #3: Write! (As if your Career Depends on it) Wed

Tea and Talk
With UB Marshall
Scholar Phillip M. Maffettone
Tuesday, July 2

a.m.-noon
Honors
College Lounge
Capen Hall
Phillip
M. Maffettone is a University at Buffalo alumni, currently working in the
Department of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool. Under the guidance of
what would soon become the Office of Fellowships and Scholarships, Maffettone
successfully applied for several awards including:
- ACT Scholarship (2013).
- Barry M. Goldwater
Scholarships (2013).
- National Science Foundation
Graduate Research Fellowship (2014).
- Marshall Scholarship (2014).
After
receiving a Marshall Scholarship, Maffettone completed his DPhil in Inorganic
Chemistry at the University of Oxford (2018).
Do
you want to see the world after graduation? Learn a new language? Live
someplace complete different from Buffalo? Conduct research in an international
setting? Do something different before law/medical/graduate school?
Consider
applying for a Fulbright award to study, research, or teach English abroad
after you graduate.
Next
year, six UB students will be embarking on the adventure of a lifetime to
teach/research in Mongolia, Malaysia, India, Germany, Turkey, and Senegal. This
could be you in 2020-21 in any of over 130 countries around the world.
The
application cycle for funding academic year 20-21 has just opened and
applications will be due internally by the first day of the fall semester. Now
is the time to come talk to me, Pat McDevitt (mcdevitt@buffalo.edu),
or Megan Stewart (mrp6@buffalo.edu)
in the Fellowship Office about applying.
Juniors
and seniors are encouraged to apply. Freshmen and sophomores are encouraged to
come talk to us about planning for the future. If you’re in the Honors College,
you are probably a very strong and competitive candidate. Why not apply?

The program meets over the course of eight weeks for lunch or dinner; it
introduces students to opportunities at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Throughout the program, participants meet students who have previously applied
for and won prestigious awards. It is designed to give students the opportunity
to assess their strengths, envision their futures and create plans to become
competitive for major fellowships and scholarships. Students will complete
Clifton StrengthsFinder and begin to write a personal statement.
Freshman and sophomores are eligible to
apply.
