The DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) supports doctoral students pursuing research that advances computational science and high-performance computing. The program is funded by the DOE Office of Science and the National Nuclear Security Administration, and administered by the Krell Institute.

What the fellowship provides

• $45,000 annual stipend
• Full payment of tuition and fees
• A yearly academic allowance for professional development
• Renewable for up to four years
• A practicum of at least 12 weeks, usually during the summer, at a DOE national laboratory, working on multidisciplinary teams

Two application tracks

1. Science and Engineering — for students using high-performance computing to address complex challenges in science and engineering.
2. Mathematics and Computer Science — for students pursuing research in applied mathematics, statistics, or computer science that contributes to the effective use of emerging high-performance computing systems.

Eligibility

• Must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
• The program seeks senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students. Students further along in a doctoral program are generally not the target audience.
• Recipients must be enrolled as full-time doctoral students.
