All of the Above

This page mainly has search engines for any type of funding. It's a hodge-podge of leftover information that didn't fit neatly into any of the other categories. It's clearly the biggest work in progress.

Although not a grant itself, the Federal Money Retriever gives you a good idea of how much money is given where. Check this out for some interesting figures.

Similarly, the National Center for Educational Statistics has a bunch of tables that contain interesting information on Scholarships and Fellowships.

The Foundation Center is an excellent starting place for anything grant-related. "The mission of the Foundation Center is to foster public understanding of the foundation field by collecting, organizing, analyzing, and disseminating information on foundations, corporate giving, and related subjects. Our audiences include grantseekers, grantmakers, researchers, policymakers, the media, and the general public."

Of course you are more than welcome to check out the UIUC Office of Financial Aid, but I'm afraid it doesn't compare with what other schools have listed.

If your funding doeesn't work out, you can always fall back on SallieMae or some of the other funding options they point out here. Also check out NellieMae, or the Federal Loans and Grants page put out by the Federal Information Center.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance is another place to look for funding. There's no list, just a query option, but has tons of information.

The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education has a nice site on several topics related to higher education. Also check out DoE's Student Guide, which has all sorts of helpful hints.

The University of Michigan, having the greatest Documents Library site, of course has a page on Federal Grants, Contracts and Auctions.

UCLA has a site that discusses several funding options and includes a good definition page.

The Princeton Review is a popular site that mostly gives information about schools, but does have some good funding tips.

The Texas Comptroller's Office has an Alphabetical Index to Scholarships and Other Financial Aid Programs which is loaded with scholarships, fellowships and grants. They also have a fantastic section on Federal Financial Aid.

California Student Aid Commission has a site full of information for college students, including a an alphabetical Financial Aid Quick Reference Guide.

The New York Office of Higher Education has a constructive site on all things college, including a section on Financial Aid.

Ohio Board of Regents has a simple site on Useful Student Financial Aid Links.

A random site on Nationally Coveted College Scholarships, Graduate Fellowships & Postdoctoral Awards comes from the University of New Mexico. It includes lists of subject links for just about everything, including Health, Science and Engineering, Women, Minorities, and HodgePodge.

University of Wisconsin-Stout Grants and Scholarships on the World Wide Web is a good overall site, with info on grants, scholarships, and grantwriting.

The Oregon State Library has a great overall site on Grants and Funding with a good Federal Grants section, Guides and Grant Resources, Scholarships, and Additional Grant Resource Lists.

Columbia University School of Public Administration has a neat Selective Directory of Grants & Fellowships. Also check out this section of the site: Popular Web-Site Listings To Surf On The Internet.

I feel like I'd be negligent if I had a site on grants and didn't include the Carnegie Foundation, a major grantmaking foundation. The MacArthur Foundation is another big name in grants funding.

And finally, there's the RAMS site, which is a site with links to four search engines that search for government funding. FEDIX provides free and instant access to information on research and education grants, programs, contracts, etc. MOLIS is a free online database of information regarding the research and educational capabilities of minority serving institutions. FOA is a free e-mail service that automatically sends its subscribers research and education opportunities within specific areas of interest, from eight participating agencies. And U.S. Opportunity Alert delivers research and education opportunities from 17 major federal agencies and from hundreds of corporations, foundations and associations.
