Or would I have to do my 3 years of required work and then I would be able to go to grad school?
When you apply for this scholarship this fall, you will be applying for a 3 year scholarship. If you are awarded the 3 year scholarship, you can reapply for funding for graduate school. The facility that sponsors your undergraduate degree will have to sponsor the graduate school too. And if they choose to it will prolong your required work. So you would complete your 3 years of undergrad and then go straight to graduate school, and once you finish graduate school you will go to work at the facility that sponsored you.
