Graduate Funding & Resources

Graduate Funding 

Attending graduate school can be a highly rewarding investment for your career and future. However, the associated costs can sometimes make this goal more challenging. The purpose of this guide is to provide information and resources to help identify funding opportunities, create research funding proposals, and make more informed financial decisions on your education.

Some of the types of research funding available include:

• Assistantships
• Fellowships & Scholarships

Funding can be used for a variety of purposes and tasks, such as:

• Helping to complete research necessary for a thesis/dissertation
• Providing financial assistance in the form of stipends, a salary, of the cost of travel
• Covering the expenses of research and other scholarly activities

In addition to the financial and degree-related benefits, fellowships and scholarships may help you to:

• Study in another country
