Do GFSD fellows receive special consideration in admissions?
No. Each university processes and reviews student applications using its own criteria.
How does the process work?
Using social media, presentations, this web site, custom communication etc., GFSD publicizes the program and recruits applicants nationwide. Students submit their applications between August and December. Early in the calendar year, GFSD employers review student applications and select the students whom they wish to sponsor as GFSD Fellows. Applicants typically are notified in mid-March. At the start of the fellowship, the employer pays its annual sponsorship directly to GFSD, who then transmits the payment the university.
May fellows hold teaching and research assistantships?
Yes
Who are the potential fellows?
Potential GFSD fellows are top students in science, mathematics, and engineering from universities throughout the nation. The program places special emphasis on recruiting minority and female students.
