Off-Campus Funding Sources for Graduate Students

The Graduate Student Grant Services (GSGS), located in Room 517 of the Goodell Building on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, helps promote the scholarly activities of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who are looking for fellowship support for their study. GSGS provides a variety of funding opportunity information services, training workshops and individual and departmental consultation options.

Graduate Students should also consult these informative databases for funding opportunities:

Community of Science (COS) Don't be mislead by the name "Community of Science." This powerful database provides information about funding opportunities for virtually every discipline.

Illinois Researcher Information Service (IRIS) The IRIS Alert Service is available to UMASS graduate students through our subscription to IRIS. It allows users to create individual IRIS search profiles that are run against the IRIS database of funding opportunities at intervals specified by the user (weekly, monthly, or every other month). The search results are delivered to the user by e-mail or posted to a World Wide Web site.

Also, don't forget to check out our On-Campus Funding Sources page, where there are a number of funding opportunities for graduate students.
