Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship Seeks Applicants for 36th Class
Applications for the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) are being accepted through Jan. 15, 2026, with an informational webinar set for Dec. 3, 2025. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who plan full-time, uninterrupted study toward a Ph.D. 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 high-performance systems more effectively. This includes students focused on issues in HPC as a broad enabling technology rather than a particular science or engineering application. Fellows’ research increasingly includes elements of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, positioning them to contribute to national priorities.
Fellows receive exceptional benefits, including a $45,000 yearly stipend; full payment of university tuition and required fees; and an annual academic allowance. Renewable for up to four years, the fellowship is guided by a comprehensive program of study that requires focused coursework in science and engineering, computer science, applied mathematics and HPC. It also includes a three-month practicum at one of 22 DOE laboratories or sites across the country.
Established in 1991 and funded by the DOE Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the DOE CSGF trains top leaders in computational science. As of Sept. 1, the DOE CSGF has onboarded more than 700 students who represent over 85 Ph.D. institutions. More than 560 program alumni work in an expanding number of fields that support computing's capacity to address problems important to the nation’s future.
