From the solicitation:

The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing full-time research-based master’s and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or in STEM education. The GRFP provides three years of support over a five-year fellowship period for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant research achievements in STEM or STEM education.

Good news in a bad news time. By my count, there are 7 University of Washington Computer Science awardees, and 3 of us are UT Austin alumni.
