Fellowships and Grants

There are many different opportunities for graduate students to obtain funding for graduate education. These can be placed into three categories:

  • National Scholarships, Fellowships and Grants: These are funds that are awarded to individual graduate students by national, regional or private agencies. Many of these opportunities can be found through the Office of Graduate Studies Funding for Research page. In addition, a number of opportunities can be found through the USF's Scholarships, Research Fellowships and Financial Aid page. You also can visit the Office of National Scholars website.
  • College, Department or Program Scholarships and Fellowships: These funds are available to USF students and can be searched via the USF Scholarship Database. Students are also encouraged to review their specific college website. 
  • USF Office of Graduate Studies Scholarships and Fellowships: Some of these fellowships are only available to students through nominations by their Program/Department, while students can apply to others directly if they meet the outlined eligibility requirements. Be aware: funding for the fellowships is limited and there is substantial competition for the awards. To be considered for specific awards, it is critical to submit a complete application prior to the stated deadline.
