Reference Service Press (RSP) began in 1977 with a single

financial aid publication (The Directory of Financial Aids for
Women) and now specializes in the development of financial aid
resources in multiple formats, including books, large print
books, disks, CD-ROMs, print-on-demand reports, eBooks, and
online sources. Long recognized as a leader in the field, RSP has
been called, by the Simba Report on Directory Publishing “a true
success in the world of independent directory publishers.”
Kaplan Educational Centers hailed RSP as “the leading authority

 Introduction

WHY THIS DIRECTORY IS NEEDED

Have you decided to get a graduate degree in the physical or earth sciences? Congratulations. You
have made a wise decision. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the average salary for a college
graduate is around $40,000. But, this figure rises to more than $50,000 for master’s degree recipients
and to $75,000 or more for those with doctoral or professional degrees.

Getting a graduate education, however, is expensive. It can cost more than $20,000 to complete a mas-
ter’s degree and $100,000 or more to finish some doctoral or professional degrees. That’s more than
most students can afford to pay on their own.

Fortunately, there are millions of dollars available to support graduate study, training, research, and cre-
ative activities (writing, projects, etc.) in atmospheric sciences, aviation, chemistry, computer science,
engineering, geology, mathematics, physics, space sciences, technology, and the rest of the physical
and earth sciences. The challenge, of course, is to identify those opportunities.

For many years, it was difficult to find out about funding available to graduate students in the physical
or earth sciences. Traditional financial aid directories didn’t offer much assistance. The eclectic Scholar-
ships, Fellowships, and Loans (published by the Gale Group) just begins to scratch the surface in its
coverage. Fewer than 300 funding programs for students in the social sciences are described in the
Graduate Scholarship Book (Career Press). And, the Directory of Research Grants (Oryx Press) empha-
sizes research and creative activities (rather than study), is aimed at the professional and postdoctorate
rather than the graduate student, and is arranged by program title (so, to identify graduate listings, you
would have to scan through all of the entries in the directory). As a result, many graduate students in
the physical and earth sciences (along with the counselors and librarians trying to serve them) were
unaware of the numerous fellowships, awards, and grants available to support graduate activities in the
those disciplines.

Then, in 1996, this changed. Reference Service Press began issuing the biennial Money for Graduate
Students in the Sciences (along with two other companion titles: Money for Students in the Humanities
and Money for Graduate Students in the Social Sciences). Information on funding for graduate students
the sciences and allied fields (including the earth, physical, biological, and health sciences) was, for the
first time, available in one volume.

Every year since then, however, the funds available to students in the sciences have increased steadi-
ly—so much so, in fact, that with the 2001-2003 edition, the editors at Reference Service Press had
to replace Money for Graduate Students in the Sciences with two new biennial publications:
• Money for Graduate Students in the Physical & Earth Sciences:
describes the biggest and best funding opportunities for graduate students in
atmospheric sciences, aviation, chemistry, computer science, engineering,
geology, mathematics, physics, space sciences, technology, and the rest of the
physical and earth sciences.
• Money for Graduate Students in the Biological & Health Sciences:
describes the biggest and best funding opportunities for graduate students in
agriculture, biology, botany, dentistry, genetics, horticulture, medicine, nursing,
5
 INTRODUCTION 6

nutrition, pharmacology, rehabilitation, veterinary sciences, zoology, and the rest

of the biological and health sciences.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
This new title, Money for Graduate Students in the Physical & Earth Sciences, is unique in many ways.
First of all, only funding that graduate students in the physical and earth sciences can use is included.
If a program doesn’t support study, training, research, or creative activities in one or more of these
areas, it’s not listed here. Now you can turn to just one place to find out about all of the funding available
to support graduate-level activities in atmospheric sciences, aviation, chemistry, computer science,
engineering, geology, mathematics, physics, space sciences, technology, and the rest of the physical
and earth sciences.

Second, the directory only lists programs open to graduate students. Most other directories mix
together programs for a number of groups—high school students, college students, graduate students,
or even postdoctorates. Now, you won’t have to spend your time sifting through programs that aren’t
aimed at you.

Third, only “free” money is identified. Here’s your chance to find out about millions of dollars in aid,
knowing that not one dollar of that will need to be repaid (provided, of course, that stated requirements
are met).

Next, only the biggest and best funding programs are covered in this book. To be listed here, a program
has to offer at least $1,000 per year. Many go way beyond that, paying $20,000 or more each year, or
covering the full cost of graduate school attendance.

In addition, many of the programs listed in here have never been included in the other financial aid direc-
tories. So, even if you have checked elsewhere, you will want to look at Money for Graduate Students
in the Physical & Earth Sciences for additional leads.

Plus, you can take the money awarded by these fellowships to any number of schools. Unlike other
financial aid directories that often list large number of awards available only to students enrolled at one
specific school, all of the entries in this book are “portable.”

Finally, the directory has been designed to make your search as easy as possible. You can identify pro-
grams by purpose (study/training or research/creative activities), specific subject, sponsoring organiza-
tion, program title, where you live, where you want to study or conduct your research, and deadline date.
Plus, you’ll find all the information you need to decide if a program is right for you: purpose, eligibility
requirements, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and application
date. You even get fax numbers, toll-free numbers, e-mail addresses, and web sites (when available),
along with complete contact information.

In all, the directory identifies the 800 biggest and best-funded sources of free money available to gradu-
ate students interested in study, training, research, or creative activities in the physical and earth sci-
ences. All types of funding are covered, including:
• Fellowships. Programs that support study, training, and related activities at the
graduate level in the United States. Usually no return of service or repayment is
required.
• Grants. Programs that provide funding to support innovative efforts, travel,
projects, creative activities, or research in the United States. Usually no return of
service or repayment is required.
• Awards. Competitions, prizes, and honoraria granted in recognition of personal
accomplishments, research results, creative writing, artistic activities, or other
achievements. Prizes received solely as the result of entering contests are
excluded.

• Forgivable loans. Money that does not need to be repaid, provided that the
recipient meets specified service requirements.

WHAT’S EXCLUDED?
The focus of Money for Graduate Students in the Physical & Earth Sciences is on “portable” funding
that can be used to support study, training, research, or creative activities in the physical/earth sciences
at practically any graduate school in the United States. Excluded from this listing are:
• Programs in other areas: Only funding for the physical and earth sciences is
covered here. If you are looking for money to support graduate study, training,
research, or creative activities in other areas, use one of the other books in
Reference Service Press’s graduate funding set: Money for Graduate Students in
the Humanities, Money for Graduate Students in the Biological & Health
Sciences, or Money for Graduate Students in the Social & Behavioral Sciences.
• Programs not aimed at graduate students: Even if a program focuses on the
physical or earth sciences, it’s not listed here if it is open only to a different
category of student (e.g., undergraduates, postdoctorates) or if it is not
specifically for graduate students (e.g., an essay contest on astronomy open to
any adult).
• School-based programs: The directory identifies “portable” programs—ones
that can be used at any number of schools. Financial aid administered by
individual schools solely for the benefit of their own graduate students is not
covered. Write directly to the schools you are considering to get information on
their offerings.
• Money for study or research outside the United States: Since there are
comprehensive and up-to-date directories that describe all available funding for
study and research abroad (see the “Financial Aid Bookshelf” section), only
programs that support study or research in the United States are covered here.
• Programs that exclude U.S. citizens or residents: If a program is open only to
foreign nationals or excludes Americans from applying, it is not included.
• Very restrictive programs: In general, programs are excluded if they are open
only to a limited geographic area or available to a very limited membership
group (e.g., a local union or a tightly targeted organization).
• Programs offering limited financial support: The focus is on programs that can
reduce substantively the cost of graduate education. Fellowships, grants,
awards, and forgivable loans must offer at least $1,000 per year or they are not
covered here.
• Programs that did not respond to our research inquiries: Programs are
included only if the sponsors responded to our research requests for up-to-date
information (we never write program descriptions from secondary sources).
Despite our best efforts (described below), some organizations did not supply
information and, consequently, are not described in this edition of Money for
Graduate Students in the Physical & Earth Sciences.

WHAT’S UPDATED?
The preparation of the 2001-2003 edition of Money for Graduate Students in the Physical & Earth Sci-
ences involved extensive research and revision. To make sure that the information included here is both
reliable and current, the editors at Reference Service Press 1) reviewed and updated all relevant pro-
grams currently in our funding database and 2) searched exhaustively for new program leads in a variety
of sources, including directories, news reports, newsletters, annual reports, and sites on the Internet.
Since we only include program descriptions that are written directly from information supplied by the
 INTRODUCTION 9

sponsoring organization, we sent up to four collection letters (followed by up to three telephone inqui-
ries, if necessary) to each sponsor identified in this process. Despite our best efforts, however, some
sponsoring organizations still failed to respond and, as a result, their programs are not included in this
edition.

The 2001-2003 edition of Money for Graduate Students in the Physical & Earth Sciences, along with
the new Money for Graduate Students in the Biological & Health Sciences, completely updates and
replaces the previous edition of Money for Graduate Students in the Sciences. Programs in the physical
and earth sciences that have ceased operations have been dropped. Similarly, programs that have
changed their focus and no longer make awards to graduate students or to graduate students in the
physical/earth sciences have also been removed from the listing. Profiles of continuing programs have
been rewritten to reflect current requirements. In addition, nearly 275 new entries have been added. The
result is a listing of more than 1,100 fellowships, forgivable loans, grants, awards, and general financial
aid directories of interest to students in the physical and earth sciences looking for graduate school
funding.

HOW THE DIRECTORY IS ORGANIZED

The directory is divided into three sections: a detailed list of funding opportunities open to graduate stu-
dents in the physical and earth sciences; recommended resources for your financial aid library; and a
set of indexes to help you pinpoint appropriate funding programs.

Money for Graduate Study or Research in the Physical and Earth Sciences. The first section
of the directory describes 799 fellowships, forgivable loans, grants, and awards open to graduate stu-
dents in the physical and earth sciences. The programs listed are sponsored by federal and state gov-
ernment agencies, professional organizations, foundations, educational associations, social and reli-
gious groups, corporations, and military/veterans organizations. Programs for master’s, doctoral,
professional, and other graduate-level degrees are covered.

To help you tailor your search, the entries in this section are grouped into two main categories:
• Study and Training. Described here are 585 fellowships, traineeships, and
forgivable loans that support structured and unstructured study or training in the
physical and earth sciences on the graduate school level, including formal
academic classes, courses of study, research training, degree-granting
programs, and other educational activities. Funding is available for all graduate-
level degrees: master’s, doctoral, and professional.
• Research and Creative Activities. Described here are 214 grants, awards,
forgivable loans, and traineeships that support graduate-level research and
creative activities in the physical and earth sciences.

Each program entry in the first section of the guide has been prepared to give you a concise but clear
picture of the available funding. Information (when available) is provided on organization address, tele-
phone numbers (including fax and toll-free), e-mail address, web site, purpose, eligibility, money
awarded, duration, special features, limitations, number of awards, and application deadline. The sam-
ple entry on page 7 illustrates and explains the program entry structure.

The information provided for each of the programs covered in this section was supplied by sponsoring
organizations in response to questionnaires we sent through the beginning of 2001. While Money for
Graduate Students in the Physical & Earth Sciences is intended to cover as comprehensively as possible
the funding available in these areas, some sponsoring organizations did not respond to our research
inquiries and, consequently, are not included in this edition of the directory.

Financial Aid Bookshelf. There is now more than $80 billion available annually in the form of pub-
licly- or privately-funded scholarships, fellowships, grants, loans, awards, and traineeships. No one sin-
gle guide could adequately describe the thousands of funding opportunities available. But, you may be
 INTRODUCTION 10

surprised to learn that in the past 10 years, more than 400 directories listing financial aid and funding
programs have been published!

Which ones are worth your time and money? We’ve reviewed all the available directories and, in this
section, we list those materials we think you will find valuable in your financial aid search. We’ve
grouped our recommendations into seven categories: general financial aid directories, subject/activity
directories, directories for special groups, awards and contests, internships, bargain buys (nothing over
$4.95), and cyberspace sites.

You’ll be able to find many of these resources in your local library. But, in case you want to add some
titles to your financial aid collection, we’ve supplied prices and publishers’ addresses as well.

Indexes. To help you find the aid you need, we have included five indexes; these will let you access
the listings by sponsoring organization, residency, tenability, subject, and deadline. These indexes use
a word-by-word alphabetical arrangement. Note: numbers in the index refer to entry numbers, not to
page numbers in the book.
Sponsoring Organization Index. This index makes it easy to identify the nearly 600 agencies that
offer funding for graduate-level study, training, research, or creative activities in the physical and earth
sciences. Sponsoring organizations are listed alphabetically, word by word. In addition, we’ve used a
code to help you identify the focus of the funding programs sponsored by these organizations:
study/training or research/creative activities.
Residency Index. Some programs listed in this book are restricted to residents of a particular city,
county, state, or region. Others are open to students wherever they live. This index helps you identify
programs available only to residents in your area as well as programs that have no residency restric-
tions.
Tenability Index. Some programs in this book can be used only in specific cities, counties, states,
or regions. Others may be used anywhere in the United States (or even abroad). Use this index to find
out what programs are available to support your activities in a particular geographic area.
Subject Index. Use this index when you want to identify graduate funding in the physical and earth
sciences by specific subject (nearly 250 are included in this index). To help you pinpoint your search,
we’ve also included hundreds of “see” and “see also” references.
Calendar Index. Since most financial aid programs have specific deadline dates, some may have
closed by the time you begin to look for funding. You can use the Calendar Index to identify which pro-
grams are still open. This index is arranged by purpose (study or research) and divided by month during
which the deadline falls. Filing dates can and quite often do vary from year to year; consequently, the
dates in this index should be viewed as only approximations after the year 2003.

HOW TO USE THE DIRECTORY

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the financial aid listings in Money for Graduate Stu-
dents in the Physical & Earth Sciences:

To Locate Funding by Purpose. If you want to get an overall picture of what kind of graduate fund-
ing is available to support either study/training or research/creative activities in the physical and earth
sciences, turn to the appropriate category in the first section of the guide and browse through the list-
ings there. Originally, we also intended to subdivide these two chapters by degree level. Once the com-
pilation was complete, however, it became clear that few programs limited funding to either master’s
degree or doctoral degree students exclusively. Thus, further subdivision (beyond study/training and
research/creative activities) would have been unnecessarily repetitious.

To Find Information on a Particular Financial Aid Program. If you know the name and primary
purpose of a particular financial aid program, you can go directly to the appropriate category in the first
section of the directory, where you’ll find program profiles listed alphabetically by title.
 INTRODUCTION 11

To Locate Financial Aid Programs Sponsored by a Particular Organization. The Sponsoring

Organization Index makes it easy to determine which groups are providing graduate funding (nearly 600
are listed here) and to identify specific financial aid programs offered by a particular sponsor. Each entry
number in the index is coded to indicate purpose (study/training or research/creative activities), to help
you target appropriate entries.

To Locate Financial Aid Based on Residency or Where You Want to Study/Conduct Your
Research. Use the Residency Index to identify funding that has been set aside to support applicants
from your area. If you are looking for funding to support activities in a particular city, county, state, or
region, turn to the Tenability Index. Both of these indexes are subdivided by broad purpose
(study/training and research/creative activities), to help you identify the funding that’s right for you.
When using these indexes, always check the listings under the term “United States,” since the programs
indexed there have no geographic restrictions and can be used in any area.

To Locate Financial Aid for Study or Research in a Particular Subject Area. Turn to the subject
index first if you are interested in identifying available funding in a specific subject area (nearly 250 differ-
ent subject areas are indexed there). As part of your search, be sure to check the listings in the index
under heading “General programs;” that term identifies programs supporting activities in any subject
area (although they may be restricted in other ways). Each index entry indicates whether the funding
is available for study/training or for research/creative activities.

To Locate Financial Aid by Deadline Date. If you are working with specific time constraints and
want to weed out financial aid programs whose filing dates you won’t be able to meet, turn first to the
Calendar Index and check the program references listed under the appropriate purpose (study/training
or research/activities). Note: not all sponsoring organizations supplied deadline information, so not all
programs are covered in this index. To identify every relevant financial aid program, regardless of filing
dates, go to the first section and read through all the entries in the chapter that represents your interest
(study/training or research/creative activities).

PLANS TO UPDATE THE DIRECTORY

This volume, covering 2001-2003, is the first edition of Money for Graduate Students in the Physical
& Earth Sciences. The next biennial edition will cover 2003-2005 and will be released early in 2003.

(562) 985-2692
Purpose To provide forgivable loans to graduate students who
can help increase the diversity of persons qualified to compete
for instructional faculty positions at campuses of the California
State University (CSU) system.
Eligibility This program is open to new and continuing full-time
students enrolled in a doctoral program anywhere in the United
States, whether affiliated with a CSU campus or not. Applicants
must present a plan of support from a full-time CSU faculty spon-
sor who will agree to advise and support the candidate through-
out doctoral study. Selection is based on the applicant’s aca-
demic record, professional qualifications, and motivation to edu-
cate a diverse student body in the CSU system. The elements
considered include actual acceptance into a specific doctoral
program, the quality of the proposed doctoral program, and other
experiences or skills that enhance the potential of the candidate
to educate a diverse student body; those experiences and char-
acteristics may include experience working with persons with a
wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, research interests
related to educating an increasingly diverse student body, a his-
tory of successfully overcoming economic disadvantage and
adversity, experience in a variety of cultural environments, and
being a first generation college student. Special consideration is
given to candidates whose proposed area of study falls where
CSU campuses anticipate the greatest difficulty in filling instruc-
tional faculty positions; currently, those disciplines include com-
puter science, electrical engineering, and nursing.
Financial data Participants receive up to $10,000 per year. The
loans are converted to fellowships at the rate of 20 percent of the
total loan amount for each postdoctoral year that the program
participant teaches, for up to 5 years. Thus, the entire loan will
be forgiven after the recipient has taught full time for 5 years on
a CSU campus. Recipients who do not teach on a CSU campus
or who discontinue full-time studies will be required to repay the
total loan amount within a 15-year period at the rate established
for other student loans. The minimum repayment required for a
$30,000 loan is approximately $287 per month to amortize the 8
percent per annum loan over a 15-year period. Waiver of loan
obligations can be made in those exceptional cases where gradu-
ate work was discontinued for valid reasons and where repay-
ment of the loan would cause an unnecessary or undue hardship.
Duration Up to 3 years.
Number awarded Varies each year.
Deadline The deadline varies at different CSU campuses but
typically falls in February of each year.

Web site: www.msfdn.org
Purpose To provide financial aid to Christian students to attend
prestigious graduate schools in the United States or abroad and
to “pursue leadership positions in strategic fields where Chris-
tians appear to be underrepresented.”
Eligibility This program is open to American and foreign stu-
dents. The most competitive applicants are those whose intended
vocational fields are demonstrated to have a significant impact
on society and to be of high priority for Christian involvement.
These fields include but are not limited to: government, corporate,
and university research; international economics and finance in
public and private sectors; journalism and media; film production
and visual and performing arts; public policy and federal, state,
and major city government; research, teaching, and administra-
tion at premier colleges and universities. Vocations that are not
considered a priority for this scholarship include: work within a
church or religious organization; civil service; elementary and sec-
ondary education; general business; homemaking; farming; non-
profit relief and economic development; military service; private
practice law or medicine; clinical psychology or counseling; social
work; professional sports; and other fields that traditionally have
attracted a higher percentage of Christians. Selection is based on
the applicant’s description of his or her Christian faith; demon-
strated commitment and accountability to the local church; voca-
tional plans; argument for the lack of a distinctive Christian voice
in that field; demonstrated leadership within the discipline; poten-
tial to impact people and systemic structures within the field; abil-
ity to affect the chosen field (often demonstrated by current pub-
lishing and research success, professional experiences and
exposure, and recommendations). Financial need is not a factor.
Preference is given to candidates with at least 2 years of study
remaining and to those whose research or project interests are
not explicitly Christian in nature.
Financial data Each fellow is awarded an annual $14,000 fel-
lowship. Funds must be used at a “premier” graduate degree pro-
gram, subject to approval by the selection committee. Fellows
may use their stipends for tuition, living expenses, research tools
or travel, studio space, professional conferences, and interview
travel.
Duration Up to 2 years for most master’s degree programs and
up to 3 years for law and doctoral programs. Due to the nature
of the program, 1-year fellowships are rarely awarded.
Special features This fellowship was first awarded in 1994. A
significant component of the program is a 1-week summer insti-
tute where fellows meet in Washington, D.C. to explore the inte-
gration of faith, learning, and vocation. The sponsor pays pro-
gram costs; fellows are responsible for transportation to and from
the institute.
Limitations Recipients must attend 1 of the top 5 institutions
(anywhere in the world) in their field of study. Christian colleges
and small liberal arts schools are excluded, because, according
to the sponsors, they “have not yet found” any that are “nationally
67
acknowledged in professional publications or national rankings as
top five institutions.”
Number awarded Varies each year; recently, 17 were
awarded.
Deadline November of each year.

Duration 1 year; may be renewed.
 STUDY AND TRAINING
Financial data While in training and for 2 months after, eligible
disabled veterans may receive subsistence allowances in addition
to their disability compensation or retirement pay. Depending on
the type of rehabilitation program, monthly rates range from
$208.06 to $413.83 for a veteran with no dependents, from
$257.79 to $513.33 with 1 dependent, from $303.02 to $604.92
with 2 dependents, and from $22.62 to $44.09 for each additional
dependent. The VA also pays the costs of tuition, books, fees,
supplies, and equipment; it may also pay for special supportive
services, such as tutorial assistance, prosthetic devices, lipread-
ing training, and signing for the deaf. If during training or employ-
ment services the veteran’s disabilities cause transportation
expenses that would not be incurred by nondisabled persons, the
VA will pay for at least a portion of those expenses. If the veteran
encounters financial difficulty during training, the VA may provide
an advance against future benefit payments.
Duration Up to 4 years of full-time training or its equivalent in
part-time training. If a veteran with a serious disability receives
services under an extended evaluation to improve training poten-
tial, the total of the extended evaluation and the training phases
of the rehabilitation program may exceed 4 years. Usually, the
veteran must complete a rehabilitation program within 12 years
from the date of notification of entitlement to compensation by
the VA. Following completion of the training portion of a rehabili-
tation program, a veteran may receive counseling and job search
and adjustment services for 18 months.
Special features The program may also provide employment
assistance, self-employment assistance, training in a rehabilita-
tion facility, or college and other training. Veterans who are seri-
ously disabled may receive services and assistance to improve
their ability to live more independently in their community. After
completion of the training phase, the VA will assist the veteran
to find and hold a suitable job.
Number awarded Varies each year.
Deadline Applications are accepted at any time.

sponsored by government agencies, private foundations, corpo-
rations, unions, church groups, and educational and professional
associations are described in the latest edition of this directory.
The programs provide grant support in the humanities, interna-
tional affairs, race and minority concerns, education, environmen-
tal and urban affairs, social sciences, physical sciences, life sci-
ences, technology, and other areas. Each entry contains the fol-
lowing information: organization name; address and telephone
number; major field(s) of organizational interest; name(s) of grant
program(s); purpose; nature of support available; amount of sup-
port per award; number of applicants and recipients for the most
recent years; legal basis for program; eligibility requirements;

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. Annual.
This is the “what’s what” of government grant programs. It
is the single source of information on programs administered at
the federal level. Over 1,000 domestic assistance programs and
activities, administered by at least 60 different federal agencies
and departments, are described in this annual publication: grants,
loans, loan guarantees and shared revenue; provisions of federal
facilities, direct construction of goods and services; donation or
provision of surplus property, technical assistance and counsel-
ing; statistical and other information services; and service activi-
ties and regulatory agencies. These assistance programs are
available to state and local governments, public and private orga-
nizations and institutions, and individuals. Excluded are automatic
payment programs not requiring application; personal recruitment
programs of individual federal departments (other than the civil
service program); and inactive or unfunded programs. Program
entries provide information on purpose, availability, authorizing
legislation, administering agency, and sources of additional infor-
mation. Each annual edition contains more than 1,000 pages of
information, making the listing cumbersome to use, even though
there is extensive cross indexing. Users may find it easier to
access the Catalog through the various software programs now
available, or through the Federal Assistance Program Retrieval
System (FAPRS), the official computerized guide to all federal
grants found in the Catalog. With FAPRS, and your modem, you
can link up with the Catalog’s database directly.

Foundation Grants to Individuals. 12th ed.
While most foundation grants are for agencies and institu-
tions, some funding opportunities (including a number of scholar-
ships and loans) have been set up specifically for individual appli-
cants. You can find out about these opportunities in the Founda-
tion Center’s Foundation Grants to Individuals. The current edition
identifies more than 3,200 foundations that annually make grants

of grant awarded (e.g., scholarships, general welfare, medical
assistance) and subdivided by eligibility requirements and means
of access (including some “Grants to Foreign Individuals” and
“Grants to Employees of Specific Companies”). Collectively,
these grants total nearly $100 million each year. However, most
of these programs are limited geographically and will related only
to very small segments of the population.

Grants and awards in excess of $500, available to American
writers for use in the United States and abroad, are described in
this directory. According to the editors, this is the only reference
work “which combines both domestic and foreign grants for

Internships
[815]
America’s Top Internships. Annual.
Unlike Peterson’s Internships directory (described below), this
listing is selective rather than comprehensive. It describes in
detail the “top” 100 internships in America, as selected by the
Princeton Review and Student Access. Each program entry (gen-
erally three pages) provides information on: application process,
selection process, compensation, quality of the work experience,
locations, duration, prerequisites, and sources of additional infor-
mation.

Directory of International Internships. 4th ed. 1998.
An internship can serve as a bridge between education and
preparation for a career. International internships can offer several
additional advantages: cross-cultural exposure, an increase in
foreign language competency, learning to adapt to different envi-
ronments, and international contacts for the future. This directory
identifies 500 international internships available to undergraduate
and graduate students interested in preparing for an international
career. Indexing is by subject and geographic location. Even a
comprehensive sources like Peterson’s Internships cannot match
the number of international internships identified here.

Work experience gained through an internship in a chosen
field can provide an advantage in a student’s job search. Plus,
internships can provided cash for college (in stipends, subse-

quent scholarships, or both). One of the best ways to find out
about internship opportunities is with a copy of the latest edition
of this directory, which identifies more than 1,300 organizations
offering more than 30,000 on-the-job training opportunities in
such fields as architecture, business, communications, and sci-
ences. Program entries describe length and duration of the posi-
tion, rates of pay, desired qualifications, duties, training involved,
availability of college credit, and application contacts, proce-
dures, and deadlines. International internships are also listed, as
well as specific information for interns working abroad and non-

AFL-CIO Scholarship Guide. Annual.
Unions have an outstanding record of providing financial
assistance to members and their families. In this selective book-
let, funding opportunities worth in excess of $3 million are
described. The programs are sponsored by international and
national unions, local unions, and AFL-CIO state and local central
bodies. They are intended to aid union members, their depen-
dents, and certain non-union students in search of financial assis-
tance to cover the cost of attending college or other postsecon-
dary institutions. However, this listing just scratches the surface
of the labor scholarship offerings available from many of the
60,000 international and national unions, local unions, and AFL-
CIO state and local central bodies. So, be sure to check what
your local unions offer as well. Do this even if you’re not a union
member; not all awards will require applicants to belong to a
union.

If you are going to be in college next year, you need to fill out
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). By filling
out this form, you can start the application process for any of
these federal programs: Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemen-
tal Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Subsidized and

dized and Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal
Work-Study, Title VII, and Public Health Act Programs. Fill out this

can qualify for) federal aid; many privately-sponsored programs
require students to have submitted FAFSA before applying for
their funding. Help in completing the FAFSA is available online.
The address is: www.ed.gov/prog_info/SFA/FAFSA. Students can
speed up the FAFSA application process by downloading a free
Windows-based program for IBM-compatible computers called
FAFSA Express; using it can cut weeks off the application pro-
cess and eliminate the mistakes and problems that sometimes
arise when filling out the paper FAFSA form. To download the
software, go to the web site listed below.

Need a Lift? To Educational Opportunities, Careers, Loans,
Scholarships, Employment. Prep. by the American Legion
Educational and Scholarship Program. Annual.
What started as just a listing of financial aid offered by Ameri-
can Legion affiliates around the country has grown to become a
sizable general financial aid listing (each edition is generally 150
pages or more). While American Legion educational assistance
on the national and state level is still covered, much more is now
presented in each annual issue: information on calculating finan-
cial need, a chart describing the major federal programs, some
information on funding for veterans and their dependents, and
short descriptions of some other types of financial aid. There is
even a list of postsecondary schools nationwide, which gives
phone number, enrollment by gender, SAT scores, tuition costs,
costs for room and board, deadlines for admissions and financial
aid, and what financial aid forms are required. All this for $3.
That’s a bargain.

The Student Guide: Financial Aid from the U.S. Department
of Education. Annual.
Of the $70 billion in student aid currently available, close to
one half of it (almost $32 billion) will be supplied by the federal
government. And, most of the federal funds will be channeled
through a handful of programs: Pell Grants, Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, PLUS Loans, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work-Study, and Fed-
eral Perkins Loans. Get information about these programs
straight from the source, in this free booklet issued by the U.S.
Department of Education. For each program, official information
is provided on purpose, financial support offered, application pro-
cedures, eligibility, recipient responsibilities, and notification pro-

College Quest.
One part of this search service identifies scholarships,
awards, and prizes available to support college study. To conduct
a free financial aid search, students must first register and, as part
of that process, supply a password to enter or reenter the service.
After registering, students answer a few questions and then wait
for a minute or two for the results. Very brief information for each
match is presented on a form, which covers sponsor, type of
award, deadline, number awarded, renewability, what’s required
in the application process, and contact. Some programs also
include award descriptions, but many do not.

ExPAN Scholarship Search.
ExPAN Scholarship Search, on the College Board’s Scholar-
ship Search Page, is a free web version of the Board’s FUND
FINDER (a product aimed at career counselors, financial aid offi-
cers, and librarians that costs from $295 to $995 per year).
Described here are scholarships, fellowships, loans, internships,
and other types of financial aid programs sponsored by approxi-
mately 3,000 federal, state, and private sources. The search inter-
face is relatively easy to use, but the database is only updated
annually.

FASTaid.
Billing itself as the “World’s largest FREE online scholarship
database,” this service is a product of the National Scholarship
Research Service, a scholarship search service directed by Daniel
J. Cassidy, the author of The Scholarship Book (described
above). Thousands of financial aid programs for undergraduates,
graduate students, and beyond are briefly described in the data-
base.

Sallie Mae’s Online Scholarship Service
This service gives students access to CASHE (College Aid
Sources for Higher Education), a financial aid database describ-
ing scholarships, fellowships, grants, work study programs, loan
programs, tuition waivers, internships, competitions, and work
cooperative programs. The database contains listings of private-
sector awards from 3,600 sponsors. Students fill out a Student
Profile Form; the information provided is matched with the
CASHE holdings, to identify appropriate funding opportunities.

fastWEB: Financial Aid Search Through the Web.
FastWEB advertises itself as “The Internet’s largest free
scholarship search.” It contains concise descriptions of financial
aid offered by 3,000 sponsoring organizations (the same informa-
tion you can find in Dan Cassidy’s popular $25 Scholarship Book!
There is also a version of the database for Canadian students cal-
led fastWEB Canada. If you take the time to fill out their 6-page
questionnaire online (this can take up to 20 minutes, depending
upon connection speed), fastWEB will set up a mailbox for you
and deliver a list of scholarships based on the information you
supplied. Check the mailbox periodically for search updates.
Bonus: each of the entries offers you a form letter, so you can
easily request an application form from the sponsors of the pro-
grams that are of interest to you.

SRN Express.
Extracted from Scholarship Resource Network (SRN), a
scholarship search service, this abbreviated web version can be
accessed by students directly, without charge. Students have to
register (and give out their phone number), but in return they get
a chance to search a portion of SRN’s scholarship database,
which lists primarily private-sector aid offered by 1,500 sponsors.
Single-school awards are not included. Although the database is
updated throughout the year, there is no way for users to save
their profiles, and SRN does not produce automatic updates the
way that fastWEB does (see above).

FinAid! The SmartStudent Guide to Financial Aid.
Sporting a spiffy new look, this popular web site (formerly
known as the “Financial Aid Information Page,”) offers a number
of short lists of financial aid opportunities available to specific
groups, including women, minorities, international students, etc.
Much more comprehensive is the bibliography of financial aid
resources (print, electronic, and web based), but this area has not
been kept up to date.

MACH25.
CollegeNET offers a guide to colleges and universities in the
United States (and selected other countries). Its scholarship data-
base, MACH25, is a free web version of the Wintergreen/Orchard
House Scholarship Finder, which contains information on private
and school-based financial aid programs offered by 1,500 spon-
sors. It is updated annually. The database is similar to fastWEB,
but not as easy to use. When constructing your search, remem-
ber to change the academic criteria page to reflect your own per-
sonal characteristics; otherwise, it defaults to someone with a 4.0
grade point average and 1600 on the SATs! You can view the
results of your search in brief or detailed formats, save individuals
awards in your profile, and generate letters to request additional
information. You may get more “hits” with your MACH25 search
than with either fastWEB or SRN, but your search results will
probably be less precise; so, be prepared to sift through a num-
ber of irrelevant “leads” to find ones that exactly match your
requirements. For another web site also using the Winter-
green/Orchard House database, see www.collegeedge.com/

 Sponsoring Organization Index

The Sponsoring Organization Index makes it easy to identify agencies that offer the financial
aid programs described in this book. In this index, the sponsoring organizations are listed
alphabetically, word by word. In addition, we’ve used an alphabetical code (within
parentheses) to help you identify the focus of the funding offered by the organizations: S
= Study and Training; R = Research and Creative Activities. For example, if the name of
a sponsoring organization is followed by (S) 241, a program sponsored by that organization
is described in the Study/Training section, in entry 241. If that sponsoring organization’s
name is followed by another entry number—for example, (R) 990—the same or a different
program sponsored by that organization is described in the Research/Creative Activities
section, in entry 990. Remember: the numbers cited here refer to program entry numbers,
not to page numbers in the book.

 Residency Index

Some programs listed in this book are restricted to residents of a particular city, county,
state, or region. Others are open to applicants wherever they may live. The Residency Index
will help you pinpoint programs available only to residents in your area as well as programs
that have no residency restrictions at all (these are listed under the term “United States”).
To use this index, look up the geographic areas that apply to you (always check the listings
under “United States”), jot down the entry numbers listed after the program purpose that
interests you (study/training or research/creative activities), and use those numbers to find
the program descriptions in the directory. To help you in your search, we’ve provided some
“see also” references in each index entry. Remember: the numbers cited here refer to
program entry numbers, not to page numbers in the book.

 Calendar Index

Since most financial aid programs have specific deadline dates, some may have already
closed by the time you begin to look for funding. You can use the Calendar Index to identify
which study or research programs are still open. To do that, go to the type of program that
interests you, think about when you’ll be able to complete your application forms, go to
the appropriate months, jot down the entry numbers listed there, and use those numbers
to find the program descriptions in the directory. Keep in mind that the numbers cited here
refer to program entry numbers, not to page numbers in the book. Note: not all sponsoring
organizations supplied deadline information to us, so not all programs are listed in this
index.
