Geoscience Currents #38: Geoscience NSF Graduate Fellowships Quadrupled in 2009
The NSF Graduate Fellowship program conferred an average of 927 graduate fellowships per year between 2000 and 2008, the majority (56-59%) of which were awarded to graduate students in the life sciences and engineering fields. During this period, approximately 3.5 percent of NSF graduate fellowships were awarded to geoscience students (~31 fellowships per year). Between 2008 and 2009, there was a 37% increase from the previous year in the total number of graduate fellowships awarded, and the percentage of total fellowships awarded to geoscience students increased to 8 percent. The total number of geoscience NSF graduate fellowships increased from 26 in 2008 to 94 in 2009.
