Finding funding for your research is an important part of being an academic. Developing the skills necessary to find, apply for, and receive grants will not only help you as a student but will also continue to be valuable as you embark on a career. It is also essential for graduate students to learn about how personal finance matters such as budgeting, loans, and taxes uniquely affect them as a student.
Knowing where to start your funding search and staying up-to-date can be daunting. On this page, you can familiarize yourself with the funding process by reviewing workshop materials, funding databases, sample grants, and campus resources to get a sense of what opportunities are out there.
