Additional Sources of Funding

The academic activity of the City University of New York expands far beyond the boundaries of the Graduate Center. As such, many Graduate Center students benefit from adjunct teaching positions and research assistantships on other campuses within CUNY or under the auspices of faculty-sponsored research grants. Executive Officers can assist students in locating these opportunities.

A significant number of students also find support through external funding sources such as private foundations, unions, and government agencies. The list of external funding sources available to graduate students is extensive. The Office of Sponsored Research, which is the Graduate Center's official liaison for grant-funded scholarship (for both faculty and students), provides a comprehensive catalog of the vast number of privately funded fellowships available to graduate students. In addition, the Office of Student Affairs conducts periodic counseling workshops on applying for external fellowships and makes application materials available for some of the major grants.
