Established in 1991 and currently carrying a $45,000 annual stipend, the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (CSGF) program provides outstanding benefits and opportunities, fostering a community of energetic and committed Ph.D. students, alumni, DOE laboratory staff, and other scientists who want to have an impact on the nation while advancing their research.
More than 675 students from 85 U.S. universities have trained as fellows through the CSGF program. The program's alumni work in DOE laboratories, private industry, and educational institutions.
To apply, candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who plan full-time, uninterrupted study toward a Ph.D. degree at an accredited U.S. university.
The DOE CSGF’s interdisciplinary science and engineering track supports students in a range of fields, but all share a common element: applying high-performance computing (HPC) to complex research problems.
A second track supports those studying applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, computer engineering, or computational science – in one of those departments or their academic equivalent − with research interests that help scientists use emerging HPC systems more effectively. This includes students focused on issues in HPC as a broad enabling technology rather than a particular science or engineering application.
