Funding Links

Finding a school that can support you for all of the years you matriculate is probably one of the kindest things you can do for yourself. http://www.unl.edu/research/ keeps you up to date for all of the new funding that UNL receives. In PSP, I work with you during your first year of PSP funding to actively and creatively search for other prestigious support.

Also another UNL link that is very helpful: http://www.unl.edu/scholfa/grad_fin_aid.html

Community of Science http://www.cos.com/ This is the very best site on the web describing funding opportunities in science.
