As more and more organizations get accustomed to electronic publishing, the internet is gradually becoming the first place to look for current grant and fellowship information.

Many of these sources here have been discovered from the web sites of different university financial aid offices around the U.S.; several of these sources are products of our research. We encourage you to freely share these sites, and invite you to notify us of new sites or of pages that we may have overlooked.

  • Links to general funding information
  • The Council of Graduate Schools - Excellent information about graduate education, including application information, timelines, and funding sources! Plus tons of useful links!

    The Foundation Center - any search for grants information on the Internet might very well begin here.
