NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP)
Prospective Applicant Webinar (4th of 4)

October 8, 11:00AM

The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) helps ensure the quality, vitality, and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States. A goal of the program is to broaden participation of the full spectrum of diverse talents in STEM. The five-year fellowship provides three years of financial support inclusive of an annual stipend of $37,000.

The GRFP recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who have demonstrated the potential to be high achieving scientists and engineers, early in their careers. Applicants must be pursuing full-time research-based master’s and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or in STEM education at accredited US institutions.

Seniors and early-career graduate students are eligible to apply.

Staff from NSF are hosting informational webinars for prospective applicants throughout the fall of 2024.  To learn more about the NSF-GRFP, and to pre-register for an upcoming webinar, visit https://www.nsfgrfp.org/events/.

During community conversations held in the spring, we heard from students, staff, and faculty that there is a need to continue to gather and learn together. In response, we have developed this new series that brings our collective experience and knowledge to bear on issues concerning the histories and roles of the university and society.

Centering students and the residents of Hartford, the UConn Hartford Dean’s Series on the University and Society is a series of workshops and presentations where the community meets to examine the present and imagine possible futures of the university. In the pilot semester, the Series will coordinate three events focused on activism, the student vote and the 2024 election, and post-election actions.

We will collectively determine other workshops and presentations for the spring 2025 semester and beyond.

This is an Honors Event. See tags below for categories. #UHLevent10863

Administered and funded by the UConn Hartford Dean’s Office, the Series is also connected to ongoing community conversations (every 2 weeks) to allow sustained, critical reflection, refinement, and deeper inclusion.

Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly for lunch.

This certificate program aims to enhance skills in financial literacy, professional communication, and health relationship building. These skills will support students’ professional development and are transferable to future educational and career opportunities.

To earn the Leveling Up: Husky Life Hacks Certificate, students must attend all three hour-long workshops. However, all students are welcome to attend any or all workshops, regardless of their interest in certification.

Workshop Details:

10/8/24 - Students will learn the basics of budgeting and building credit.

10/17/24 - Students will practice writing clearly, concisely, and effectively in professional documents tailored to different audiences and purposes.

10/22/24 – Students will identify characteristics of healthy professional and personal relationships.

Food will be served!
