Funding for graduate school study can be very specific to the area in which you are
studying. As a result, general funding sources are not as plentiful. However, for certain
areas, there are numerous funding opportunities. Before embarking on your search for
graduate funding, decide on the area of study you wish to pursue further. You should
also narrow your choices for a university and an area of study. Being confident in the
study area you wish to pursue and the universities in which you are interested will
help you greatly in your search for funding. Why? Most graduate funding sources are
looking for students who are passionate about their area of study. They expect to see
not only commitment to your field but also your knowledge of it in the funding
application. In addition, careful consideration of the universities available to you for
your area of study can also help, since a major source of funding may be the university
you are planning to attend or are currently attending. This funding may come in the
form of an assistantship. To learn more about the various types of assistantships
and other graduate funding sources, read chapter 19 of Winning Scholarships for College,
“Funding Beyond the Undergraduate Degree.”
If you’re already enrolled in a graduate school, you’re looking for funding to continue,
and you have already contacted your institution about funding sources, then you
should review the following list of aid sources for additional help. A few of these can
be used by students in any area of study. Others are intended for those pursuing study
in some of the more popular subject areas. Please contact each organization to confirm
deadlines and eligibility criteria. Do not use this listing as your sole resource! There
may be other funding sources available to you based on your background and specific
interests. Review of Chapter 19 in Winning Scholarships for College will help you find other
financial aid sources such as associations, government agencies, and other
professional organizations providing funding for individuals in your area of study. This
chapter contains information about funding sources for medicine, law, business, and
other fields including the more generalized areas of study listed in the table below.
You may also consider signing up for an online class led by Marianne Ragins for
additional help with graduate school funding sources.
For additional information about the scholarships and awards listed below, visit the
linked web sites or refer to the appendix of Winning Scholarships for College for more
information.
Please note that some of the aid sources listed will require nomination by your
institution. Read Chapter 13 in Winning Scholarships for College, "The Art of Getting Good
Recommendations and Requesting Nominations," for help with getting nominations
for certain awards.
