Graduate Funding and Information Service

The UW Libraries sponsors the Grants and Funding Information Service that provides help identifying resources for external funding (not UW funding) for graduate students who have been admitted to or who are attending the University of Washington. GFIS offers workshops and individual consultations explaining print and online resources available for students to do their own searches. GFIS does not provide search services or money directly to students, but rather provides guidance in learning searching skills and offers direction as to which resources (print, database, or web-based) might offer students better opportunities of finding useful external funding sources for themselves.
