Funding For Graduate Students

Funding For Graduate Students

All UCSC Faculty and graduate students are eligible to sign up for a free Pivot account. Use your UCSC email address for access to customized searches of funding sources. Graduate students will automatically be added to ARI’s monthly mailing of arts funding opportunities, the Arts Funding Snapshot.

Graduate students can also receive feedback on application materials from ARI’s Research Development GSR, Eric Sneathen, who is available to discuss funding opportunities and application strategies.

Graduate students are also welcome to submit a draft to our arts faculty committee for writing feedback.

The Humanities Institute (THI) hosts its PhD+ series of workshops throughout the academic year, and Arts Division students are welcome to attend. PhD+ workshops expand graduate student training and provide space for exploring questions you might not know to ask. They meet monthly to discuss possible career paths for PhDs, internship possibilities, grants/fellowships, work/life balance, elements of style, online identity issues, and much more.
