Graduate Student Grant/Fellowship Blog

As a way of getting information on funding opportunities to you so that you have ample time to plan ahead, work out a schedule or strategy, and talk to the people you need to talk to, I have decided to use this blog format.

For the most part I will be listing deadlines, general information, and links regarding funding opportunities that might interest graduate students in the division. For the time being funding opportunities will be listed in individual posts and tagged with various categories (deadline months, kind of funding, special eligibility) that I have set up and that you may use to search and sort the posts (see the listed Categories and Key to Categories to the right). You may make comments in response to postings; I will post comments when they are generally useful. Be sure to let me know (directly by email)  if you have information or suggestions for me with regard to content or presentation.
