The Graduate College offers several services and resources for current graduate student fellows and graduate students applying for external fellowships.
Are you a current fellow or trainee?
Congratulations on receiving a fellowship or traineeship for your study at the University of Illinois! The Graduate College is here to help you fully understand the benefits and obligations associated with your award. See our FAQ for current fellows and trainees.
Are you exploring external fellowships?
The Graduate College Office of External Fellowships provides services to help you identify potential fellowships, learn how to write a proposal, and submit the strongest application possible. We maintain a database of over 1,000 graduate-level grants and fellowships. Start your search for external funding here.
Want to learn about grant writing?
We conduct workshops throughout the year to introduce students to the art of proposal writing. Most workshops take place via Zoom and are advertised through GradLinks.
Want assistance with your proposal?
We offer one-on-one review of proposals for external funding. Once you have a completed draft that encapsulates a well-defined project and has been reviewed by your advisor, we can serve as an outside reviewer.
