Funding for Advanced Students

Funding Sources for Sociology Graduate Students in Their Latter Years

Below is a rather extensive list of fellowships and awards that University of Minnesota advanced sociology graduate students have been successful with when seeking funding to support their latter years in the program. Due to quickly changing procedures, application deadline dates, etc. the department can only provide a general list of these competitions. In order to find the most current award information, it is recommended that students conduct Internet searches for the competitions that look most interesting/applicable to their particular situations.

Please also visit the College of Liberal Arts' Grants, Fellowships & Research Funding website. Additionally, a vast resource of University of Minnesota funding can be found on the link to Internal Funding.
