The Graduate Center can help students locate information on funding their education. Here is how we can help:
GradSense: This is an initiative from the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), generously supported by TIAA, that has created a website to help you plan financially for graduate school.
Graduate College Funding and Financial Information: Use this resource for information for more detailed information about tuition, fees, the Graduate Assistant/Associate manual, and more.
Office of Fellowships: The office follows a Grant Lifecycle Model, ensuring support is available from the initial "spark" of an idea through to the final post-award compliance. Our team of specialists assists graduate students in three phases of the grant lifecycle.
- Phase 1- Ideation & Awareness: This phase focuses on finding the grant that fits your research goal, fostering collaboration, leveraging core facilities and understanding the skills developed during the grant submission process. This phase also includes a GradFunding Newsletter that includes a list of funding opportunities.
- Phase 2- Application Development: This phase focuses on the technical and creative aspects of the submission, including interpreting grant instructions, routing proposals, securing pre-approvals, and completing the proposal writing,
- Phase 3- Compliance & Post-Award: This phase focuses on grants management, invention disclosures , and business office support in transitioning students from GAships to fellowships.
