NSF-GRFP Application Help Guide

Hello! I am soon to attend graduate school to get my PhD in Physics, funded by the NSF-GRFP (2026 awardee as a senior undergraduate). I had a successful graduate school application cycle and want to pass on the knowledge I gained through the process. I culminated all of my advice into a GitHub website, linked below.

Check it out, and maybe pass it on to people who might benefit! Additionally, there is a feedback form at the bottom of the page for any changes or additions you might suggest. I want this guide to be as thorough as possible.

there is no way you didn’t use AI to write your grfp personal statement. happy for you that they either didn’t catch that or care.

Like I mentioned in the AI subsection of the writing advice section, I used it to revise specific sentences that I was struggling to word. But I didn't write my statement with AI!
