As #DisabledInSTEM, I benefitted from the NSF GRFP as I entered graduate school knowing I would have funding.
As someone with a disability, it can be difficult to find a lab and a PI who is willing to spend so much money on you.
With my own funding, came independence. #StandUpForScience2025

Many applicants worry that the funding for NSF GRFP will be paused this year and my heart breaks for them given the time and dedication put into those applications.
We need to continue to fund younger generations of scientists for hope of the future
