Finding Outside Funding

Welcome to the Office of Fellowships and Assistantships' online resources page. Chances are you came across this page hoping to find funding for school. We're here to help you out! We invite you to view our fellowship calendar, our archive of fellowship newsletters, browse through our hotlist of foundations and other organizations, or look through a list of funding reference books at the UW libraries.

The Office of Fellowships and Assistantships puts out several publications of interest to those looking for funding.

• If you are a University of Washington Student, you may wish to make use of our bibliography of funding information resources held in the University of Washington libraries.  If you are not yet a University of Washington student, some of these books will be available in your local public or college  library. 
  
• As the Internet becomes an increasingly important medium for communication, government agencies, corporations, public and private foundations are making information available on their fellowship and grant programs, providing e-mail contact links, and some even providing fellowship applications on-line. We recommend you view our list of funding web sites for current program information.
  

• The Graduate School also helps to fund the Grant and Funding Information Service located in the Reference Section of Suzzallo Library.  Check the website to see when the staff is available for consultation .  GFIS has several free classes each quarter to teach University of Washington students and staff how to use the print and web resources available, including the funding databases to which the University subscribes.

Work Study: 

Graduate students who are eligible for the need-based college work study program may qualify for work study graduate assistantships in teaching or research. Students must submit financial aid applications to the Office of Student Financial Aid by the February 28 deadline to be considered for these positions. Information is available from the Office of Student Financial Aid and at the Work Study Website.

Employment: 

Please be sure to visit the collection of resources on the Resources for Students Page of the Graduate School website, where we have collected a variety of information sources.

The campus offers other job opportunities for graduate students. Students may apply directly to the Chairperson of the department in which they hope to work or to the Student Employment Office. Students seeking part-time employment must be enrolled and on campus before they may obtain jobs.

Advisory positions in University residence halls paying room and board are available for single graduate students, both men and women. Additional information may be obtained from the Director of Residence Halls Programs, 301 Schmitz.

Spouses of married students also may apply for regular full- and part-time University employment. These positions cover a wide range of occupations and offer pay comparable to the prevailing salaries in the community. Some carry such fringe benefits as vacations, sick leave, and opportunities to enroll in University courses. Inquiries may be directed to the Staff Employment Office, 1320 Northeast Campus Parkway, Seattle.
