The Graduate School
The Graduate School website contains information on various funding opportunities, including:
Fellowships - The Graduate School Office of Fellowships and Awards administers a variety of fellowships and their staff is available for consultation. If you are interested in applying for a fellowship, you need to plan ahead. Most fellowship competitions have deadlines 6-9 months prior to the beginning date of the fellowship, and usually require personal statements and letters of recommendation that may take several months to compile. Be sure to check the UW Graduate School Funding Calendar for deadlines.
Graduate Funding Information Service (GFIS) – GFIS works to provide resources for outside funding opportunities to graduate students at the masters and doctoral level who have been admitted to or who are attending the University of Washington. GFIS offers workshops and individual consultations to help students explore resources for potential funding. Sign up for the blog to receive regular updates.
Graduate Opportunities and Minority Achievement Program (GO-MAP) - GO-MAP works to provide an innovative and inclusive graduate student community and experience. GO-MAP takes a leadership role in the recruitment and retention of minority and underrepresented graduate students and students pursuing studies in multicultural scholarship. GO-MAP also strives to improve campus climate so that all students may learn and grow through experiences rich in cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity. GO-MAP offers a number of funding opportunities, and their application processes generally require departmental nomination.
UW Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards (OMFSA) -- OMSFA is a database available to current UW students (must have a UW netID) to search for funding opportunities, often merit-based. As every student will be eligible for different opportunities, be sure to check the database frequently as new awards are added and your academic interests evolve.
