Other Funding Resources

Internet

Use your favorite search engine and start looking online. Don’t limit yourself to searching only by your area of study, be creative and broad. Searching by your research topic, international (if you wish to go overseas), academic discipline, or just “funding” can provide you with an array of possibilities.

Grant and Funding Information Service (GFIS)

The Graduate School helps to fund the Grant and Funding Information Service located in Suzzallo Library. Check the website to see when staff is available for consultation and to review the posted listings of both fellowship and employment opportunities.

Graduate Opportunities and Minority Achievement Program (GO-MAP)

GO-MAP, a unit of The Gradute School, has limited funding for students whose individual experiences and/or academic interests will bring diversity to scholarly perspectives and endeavors, and to the academic community. Students must be nominated by their department. For information, please see: http://grad.washington.edu/gomap/funding.shtml.

WorkStudy

Graduate students who are eligible for the need-based college work study program may qualify for work study positions. Information is available from the Office of Student Financial Aid and at the Work Study Website.

Employment

The campus offers other job opportunities for graduate students. The UW Career Center provides “HuskyJobs,” which is an online resource for internships and employment. For information, please go to: http://careers.washington.edu/Students/HuskyJobs. Students seeking part-time employment must be enrolled and on campus before they may obtain jobs.

Advisory positions in University residence halls paying room and board are available for single graduate students, both men and women. Additional information may be obtained at http://hfs.washington.edu/student_housing/RA/

Spouses of married students also may apply for regular full- and part-time University employment. These positions cover a wide range of occupations and offer pay comparable to the prevailing salaries in the community. Some carry such fringe benefits as vacations, sick leave, and opportunities to enroll in University courses. Information may be found at: http://www.washington.edu/admin/hr/jobs/.
