Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) National Fellowships Program
The Graduate Women In Science (GWIS) National Fellowship Program promotes knowledge in the natural and social sciences and encourages women’s academic and professional careers in the sciences. Endowment funds, mostly generated from bequests, provide the annual income that supports scientific research conducted by GWIS fellowship winners. During the 2024-2025 funding cycle, we distributed $75,000 in research awards to nine outstanding women scientists and recognized twenty graduate students and seven early-career honorable mentions.
