NSF fellowship final stats?

[gradschoolnutty]

Does the NSF post statistics on all applicants after they make awards? I want to know how many applicants there were, what percentage were awarded, and demographics.

Oh and it would be interesting to find out how many awards were granted to each field of study. That is, without manually counting the stats from their site.

well, you could use the excel file and use filters to check out your particular field

Not for percentages, though. I'd assume that they will post those soon
