Graduate Funding Information Service: Home

Online guide and resources for graduate students looking for funding opportunities.

COVID-19 Availability

The GFIS office is remotely open during summer and fall 2020. We assist UW graduate students from all academic disciplines in their search for funding, including, but not limited to assistantships, fellowships, and scholarships. While we're unable to provide individualized lists of awards, we are excited to help you with resource selection, navigation, and search strategies. Please email us to set up a Zoom appointment or to receive an informational funding email. Please also contact us if you're interested in a graduate funding presentation during fall quarter for a specific class or organization on UW's campus.

Welcome!
