My REU was the first time I had the chance to immerse myself in full-time research—it showed me that I was capable of pursuing a PhD and solidified my passion for science. Every young scientist deserves that kind of transformative experience.

😡 F'ing ridiculous. After updating its FAQ yesterday, NSF refused to directly answer a simple question:

"Will the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) continue to award fellowships in 2025?"

GRFPs are a lifeline that support 2,000+ graduate students/year.
