"How to Get a Grant" (Information Session for Graduate Students) - Monday, May 5th, 4-5 p.m.

Are you a Ph.D. student in the humanities or social sciences looking for outside money? Are you trying to figure out how to fund a research trip or a write-up year?  If so, then come to this virtual information session run by IASH Director Wendy Wall.  Many archives, research centers and philanthropic foundations offer grants to Ph.D. candidates, but to be competitive you need to plan ahead--and summer is a great time to begin. We will review strategies for finding outside grants, crafting a compelling application, and lining up recommenders, so you have a head start going into the fall. 

Looking for outside funding? IASH now provides links to searchable databases of external fellowships and grants, as well as tips to grant proposal and prospectus writing. Just go to the "Funding" page on this website.
