IU's GradGrants Center

The GradGrants Center is here to support them in applying for grants and fellowships (both internal and external, including FLAS, Fulbright, SSRC, CAORC, and others). The GGC is a free service for all IU graduate students, administered through the University Graduate School. Our goals are to support IU's graduate students in getting funding and becoming skilled and confident proposal writers. We also meet with students to help them identify additional funding opportunities for the various stages of graduate study (coursework, language study, fieldwork, dissertation writing). Our consultants are grant-winning advanced graduate students, and we work one-on-one with students to give them feedback on funding proposals. Our consultants can point out whether students effectively address the stated criteria for selection, how well they match their proposed course of study to the purposes of the funding agency, and whether they have left out any relevant experiences or qualifications. The students we work with who receive funding tend to start early, get feedback as a proposal evolves, and understand the missions of the programs to which they apply.

Anyone who would like an appointment at the GGC, or who would like more information about funding graduate study, is welcome to contact us by phone or e-mail. We will be closed after the last day of classes (December 10) and reopen on January 10. We recommend that graduate students check out the resources on our web page: http://www.indiana.edu/~gradgrnt/proposal-writing-and-research-resources/
