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 presentation for a UW department, school, organization, or class
• Unfortunately, we are not able to provide individualized lists of awards

*GFIS email will be unmonitored during Spring Break 2023. GFIS will return in Spring quarter 2023
