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.

Good luck.
 
Thanks for the advice!
