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

GFIS email will be unmonitored during summer 2022. GFIS will return in autumn quarter 2022.

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
