The DOE CSGF has defining benefits that set it apart from other science- and engineering-focused graduate fellowships:
- A yearly stipend of $36,000
- Payment of full tuition and required fees during the appointment period (at any accredited U.S. university)
- A $5,000 academic allowance in the first fellowship year and a $1,000 allowance each renewed year (to be used for the purchase of a computer workstation or for research/professional development expenses)
- Up to four years of total support, depending on renewal
- A twelve-week practicum experience at one of 21 DOE national laboratories or sites, including access to DOE supercomputers
- A rigorous program of study that ensures fellows have solid backgrounds in a scientific or engineering discipline plus computer science and applied mathematics
- An annual program review for fellows, alumni, university and DOE laboratory staff, held each summer in the Washington, D.C. area
