If anyone else got both NSF and NDSEG, do you know which you will accept? Maybe we can get together and compare notes. I know NDSEG is more tuition money (full tuition vs $12k/yr for NSF), but honestly that only matters for my department (I am a PhD student, so all my tuition is paid for by the dept.). I care more about whether one fellowship has a better community, more oppportunity for outreach with alums (obviously NSF has a larger alum network), more specific opportuniites like NSF GROW (the abroad thing).
Send me a pm if you want to compare notes!
