## Description

GFSD, short for Graduate Fellowships for STEM Diversity, is a renowned brand that assists a diverse group of talented scientists and engineers in realizing their dreams of graduate education. Formerly known as the National Physical Science Consortium (NPSC), GFSD was established in 1989 with a mission to increase the number of American citizens with graduate degrees in STEM fields, with a particular focus on recruiting a diverse applicant pool. GFSD operates as a partnership between federal agencies and laboratories, industry, and higher education institutions. As a registered US nonprofit organization (501c3), GFSD relies on the support of sponsors and partnerships to provide assistance to its fellows. The brand addresses a significant issue of the declining number of US citizens attaining Ph.Ds in science and engineering fields. By offering opportunities to underrepresented groups, GFSD aims to bridge this gap and increase diversity in the STEM disciplines. The fellowship program is open to all U.S. GFSD takes pride in the caliber of its applicants, with an average GPA of 3.7 and 19% of applicants boasting a GPA of 4.0 or above in 2019. The brand also actively seeks additional support from government agencies and corporations to empower deserving students and contribute to the growth of the nation's economy through innovation and diverse problem-solving approaches. Through GFSD, aspiring scientists and engineers can turn their aspirations into reality and make a meaningful impact on the world.
