We’re opposing DHS’s misguided proposal to restrict the length of international student visas – making it harder for students to successfully complete their degree.

America is stronger and more economically vibrant when we attract the best and the brightest students from all over the world.

NSF today released instructions for the next round of applicants to its Graduate Research Fellowship Program. A key group—second-year Ph.D. students—is no longer eligible, and students who are still able to apply will face an unusually narrow timeframe. https://scim.ag/3KlQkQk

‘Completely shattered.’ Changes to NSF’s graduate student fellowship spur outcry

The announcement comes months later than usual, leaving many would-be applicants stranded
