Spring quarter usually marks the end of the academic year. But finding funding is a continuous process! So, if you are looking for financial support for the coming year or next, remember to routinely look at funding postings âto get an idea of what topics or issues are getting funded. âSpring and summer are also great times to be preparing your fellowship application materials - personal statement, research statement, and academic CV.
Below is a sample list of upcoming deadlines. Regularly inform your faculty advisor about your current research ideas and progress because this is very important when requesting letters of recommendation. Also, be sure to check program websites regularly for the most updated information on important dates and submission details. Good luck!
