I was recently awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship! Here I will include my tips, resources, and documents, and reviews for future applicants.

This is the file for my submitted Graduate Research Plan Statement.

From NSF: “The Graduate Research Plan Statement must also address NSF’s merit review criteria of Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts. Applicants must include headings for Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts in their statements.

The maximum length of the Graduate Research Plan Statement is two (2) pages.”

This is the file of my submitted Personal, Background, and Future Goals Statement.

From NSF: “The Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals Statement must address NSF’s merit review criteria of Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts. Applicants must include headings for Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts in their statements.

The maximum length of the Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals Statement is three (3) pages.”

Here is a document I created from the documents and evalution criteria NSF mentioned or published in the 2023-2024 cycle.
