Grant Sources for Students

This list was suggested and initially compiled by Sarah Pietraszek-Mattner.

Department of Geological Sciences Endowed Funds. Many of these are earmarked for students.

The GradGrants center on campus. They run workshops and critique your grants, and have several science grant databases for use by grad students. They also list a link to the grants that are specific to IU students (Doctoral grant-in-aid, summer incentives, etc.)

The IU Grad Student Organization provides grants to graduate students.

The GSA Grants page. Includes forms and instructions.

AAPG home page, with links to its Grants-in-Aid program.
