Planning to go to graduate school?

If you think you might be interested in attending graduate school, please know that we are here to help.  The Office of Grants and Scholarships can provide you with guidance on how to write personal statements.  You can also find assistance at the Career Development Center, where advisors can help you through the application process - from the very early stages of exploring your options to preparing and submitting your application.

If you are looking for funding to support graduate study, contact your graduate school first and foremost, but also take a look at GRAPES and GrantsNet.  Both provide a lot of information about scholarships and fellowships that will support graduate study.

The hard work you’ve put into your education can pay off in ways you might not have ever imagined.  Whether you are a first year student with an idea about how to bring peace into the world, a rising senior trying to learn more about your options for the future, or an alumni with a passion and a vision, there may be opportunities that will provide you with the support to pursue your dreams!

Take a look at some of the options below. If any strike your interest, contact the Office of Grants and Scholarships to discuss next steps. Not finding anything that fits your skills and interests?  Contact us anyway to discuss your unique situation.
