At the graduate level, funding decisions are primarily made within your program of study and are usually some combination of fellowships, assistantships, and/or grants. Funding offers are typically made at the point of admission.
The Graduate College administers five programs and partners with other, primarily NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) that also provide excellent research training and graduate school preparation.
In graduate school, much of your career preparation will happen formally and informally and it will be guided by your faculty, informed by your study and practice, and enhanced by collaboration with peers within your graduate program of study.
Many of our sponsored students, such as veterans, McNair Scholars, and international students have specific questions about funding and community.
Let's get the conversation started!
Our philosophy is to get you in touch with your program of study as quickly as possible because we believe the very best sources of information are faculty and graduate coordinators.
Every year, over 150 students from the US, Mexico, and Latin America engage in faculty-directed research projects through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Consortium (UROC).
The University of Arizona is an ideal destination for McNair Scholars, with our emphasis on research, innovation, and 100+ doctoral programs of study. You can connect with other McNair alumni with help from our Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

Dear Graduate Students,
This is a list of some of my favorite fellowships that are external to the UA. However, there are lots more out there! Take time to do your own searches. Also, don’t forget about other sources of funding for graduate students; I have them listed here.
A wide range of disciplines are represented by students have been named to the UA Graduate College University Fellows program's 2016-2017 cohort.
A South Korean researcher who intends to improve sustainability efforts in the mining industry, an ecologist studying how species change behaviors due to shifts in the environment, and a psychologist working to improve the conditions of cancer patients and survivors are new members of the University Fellows program.
Each year, the National Science Foundation produces its Survey of Earned Doctorates. The University of Arizona performed particularly well on key measures in the 2015 report which was released earlier this week.
