In addition, it is strongly recommended that grad students at all levels spend some time on the Community of Science page at www.cos.com. You have to register, but it’s free. Best of all, you get access to the COS database, which includes lots of funding opportunities for fellowships, scholarships, etc., including both mainstream and obscure federal agencies, foundations, and NGOs. While it is occasionally time-consuming to sift through their databases, the large number of opportunities it returns may be well worth the effort.
