AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the NSF fellowship as a well-known funding option for PhD candidates in Astrophysics, while also recommending NASA's graduate student researchers program fellowship, which has recently increased its stipend for the 2007-08 academic year. Both fellowships are noted for their competitiveness. Additionally, it is mentioned that many universities provide various fellowships specifically for their graduate students, presenting further funding opportunities.

I'm familiar with the NSF fellowship, but I was wondering if there are any others I should be looking into to support a PhD in Astrophysics. Any suggestions?

NASA's graduate student researchers program fellowship is pretty decent. They just raised the stipend for 2007-08 too! It is just as competitive as the NSF though. Another possibility is that most schools offer a good number of fellowships for their grad students.

Good luck.
 
Thanks for the advice!
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
