View details →The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship ($34,000/year stipend + $12,000 cost of education) is the most broadly applicable. The Hertz Foundation Fellowship ($50,000/year) is highly competitive. Microsoft Research Ada Lovelace Fellowship and Meta Research PhD Fellowship ($42,000/year + tuition) are top tech-industry awards. AAUW American Fellowships support doctoral and postdoc women.
Yes — AAUW Selected Professions Fellowships, P.E.O. Scholar Awards, and NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarships support master's students. The NSF GRFP also funds master's students, though it's more competitive at that level. Many corporate fellowships (Google, Microsoft) have master's tracks.
NSF GRFP applications are due in October each year — typically the third or fourth week. First-year PhD students and the year before starting a PhD program are both eligible. The L'Oréal USA For Women in Science Fellowships target postdocs specifically. Plan to apply during your last year of undergrad or first year of grad school.
