External Funding

Each year, Bryn Mawr's graduate students apply for and win prestigious funding awards from charitable institutions. Below is a list of some of these organizations with links to more information about application requirements and deadlines. The sponsored research office has many grant-related resources, including a subscription to the SPIN database, the leading tool for matching research interests with potential funding programs. Graduate students can search the database from any computer on the campus network. You may contact the Director of Sponsored Research, Sarah E. Robertson, with further questions. 

GSAS students can log onto the GSAS Student Resource Moodle site to watch the video of this workshop on graduate fellowship application and find more information.
