Off-Campus Funding Sources for Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students seeking funding in the form of scholarships may take advantage of a number of on-line databases available to UMASS students. Select Undergraduate Scholarship Information, for a comprehensive list and description of these resources.

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. Select "Undergraduate" under the "Requirements" field if you are doing a Main Search.

Illinois Researcher Information Service (IRIS) - The IRIS Alert Service is available to UMASS undergraduate 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. When searching this database, select "Undergraduate Students" under the "Academic Qualifications" field.

ONSA Office of National Scholarship Advisement - This program helps students to apply for national scholarships and fellowships such as the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships, Fulbright grants, and the Mellon Fellowship in the Humanities. Located in Room #610 Goodell Building 577-2610.

The Financial Aid Office in the Whitmore Building posts a variety of scholarship opportunities outside of the office. In addition, they provide a direct access point to fastWEB, an on-line scholarship search service.

We recommend that undergraduate student groups seeking funding for events consult our On-Campus Funding Sources page for funding sources. Many of these organizations provide funding for groups seeking to present events on campus.
