    • Grants and Fellowships

    There are many possibilities to obtain funding for support of graduate student research and teaching. While TA and RA fellowships are available within the Department of Physics, it is valuable to seek outside funding for the experience in writing grant proposals or fellowship applications. Obtaining an award can give you flexibility in choosing your research topic, as well as some prestige to further your career after graduation.
