How to Search for Graduate School Funding: Home

• The earlier you start searching, the more awards will be available
• Ideally, start searching a year before you will need the funds
• Most deadlines for scholarships, fellowships, and grants are 6-12 months before they pay out
• Assistantships have quicker turnaround times, often months to weeks before the start date

Email us for help learning how to search for funding, including:

• An informational email
• A 30-minute, one-on-one Zoom meeting
• A presentation for a UW department, school, organization, or class
• Unfortunately, we are not able to provide individualized lists of awards

The GFIS office is open, working remotely.
