Fellowships and awards
Graduate students at IU find support through internal fellowships and awards, which is money that comes directly from IU. External fellowships are available from many organizations unaffiliated with the university.
GradGrants Center
Students can find resources for finding funding, or book one-on-one advising on external funding proposals with consultants on IU’s GradGrants Center website.
UGS Fellowships & Awards are now live on InfoReady
The University Graduate School has transitioned all Fellowships and Awards competitions to the InfoReady platform.
For information about available opportunities and upcoming deadlines, please visit the UGS Fellowships and Awards homepage on InfoReady.
Nomination Process
- Students who wish to be considered for nomination must complete and submit the online application by the published deadline.
- After the application deadline, all completed applications will be forwarded to the applicant’s academic department for review. In general, departments select a single nominee; however, some fellowships allow multiple departmental nominations or permit students to apply directly to the University Graduate School. Applicants should review the individual application portals for specific competition requirements and nomination guidelines.
- Departments will receive an email with instructions for reviewing applications and submitting their nomination through the online system.
- Once departmental nominations have been submitted, the nominated applications will be forwarded to the University Graduate School.
