Funding Forecast for Summer 2018
The spring quarter just ended but summer is a perfect time to prepare for funding opportunities announced in the Fall! Also, it is highly encouraged that you prepare and update typical fellowship application components: personal statement, research statement, and CV, while still keeping an eye on early announcements, perhaps new funding postings, repostings or extended deadline for any awards still active. As usual, below is only a sample list for upcoming deadlines in the next three months. But it may be your starting point for learning about types of external funding!
