NPSC offers a unique graduate

the first two or three years of graduate school, depending on the employer who
sponsors the fellowship, with the possibility of continuation for several more
years providing all the conditions of the fellowship continue to be met. The
maximum duration is six years, in which case the overall value (stipend,
tuition, fees, summer salary for two summers) of an NPSC fellowship typically
well exceeds $200,000.
