Proposal Development - Graduate Students
In recent years, the expectation that graduate students would seek funding to support their research has increased. Fortunately, funding resources have become more available, although not as broadly as one would hope. Below are some funding sources and opportunities available for graduate students. Students are encouraged to work with their mentors and the Liberal Arts Grants and Contracts Office in their efforts to apply for research funding.
Predoctoral Funding - This ranges from fellowship funding at the outset of graduate training to dissertation-level funding. Links are provided for each for more information.
