The Graduate Student Grant Service (GSGS) helps graduate students at UMass Amherst to seek extramural support for their studies. We show grad students how to identify and apply for fellowships and grants from sources outside the university. We support searches for funding for a variety of scholarly activities including research, overseas studies, dissertation work, and professional training.
Services
We offer the following array of services:
- Databases that contain fellowship opportunities, deadlines, etc., and that allow individuals to set up an alert service profile
- Posting of prominent fellowship opportunities through our bulletin board, Graduate Program Directors, and newsletter
- Individual consultations by appointment via email, phone, and in person
- Drop-in office hours (subject to change -- see below)
- Departmental workshops PLEASE NOTE: These workshops have been temporarily discontinued, as we are unexpectedly short-staffed. Please email us (see below) to request a workshop, and we will put you on our waiting list. As soon as possible -- hopefully in late Oct. or early Nov. -- we will contact you about scheduling possiblities. Meanwhile, please consult our links (at left) and blog (see below) for grant writing tips, links to fellowships, and other useful tools. The blog also features downloadable PDF files of our introductory workshop presentations and other handouts. Go to the main page, then the Downloads tab.
