Graduate Women in Science is proud to offer The GWIS National Fellowships Program 2017 to increase knowledge in the natural sciences and to encourage research careers in the sciences by women. GWIS Fellowships are intended to provide supplemental funding to women scientists conducting research in the natural sciences. Fields of social science that use the scientific method are eligible to apply. The award amount varies each year. A maximum of $10,000 may be requested for this year.
Graduate Women in Science has been empowering women as individuals and as a community since 1921. For almost 100 years we have worked to advance the participation and recognition of women in scientific fields through grants, awards, and fellowships.
