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 so you get an idea of what topics or issues are getting funded. And spring and summer are great times to be ready preparing your fellowship application materials - personal statement, research statement and academic CV.
Below is a sample list of upcoming deadlines. Regularly inform your faculty adviser about your current research ideas and progress because this is very important when requesting letters of recommendation. Also, be sure to check the program websites regularly for the most updated information on important dates and submission details. Good luck!
