If you're looking for graduate funding in the sciences, this is the directory to use. Described here are more than 1,200 fellowships, loans, grants, and awards set aside just for students interested in working on a master's or doctoral degree in agricultural sciences, astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, dentistry, engineering, environmental sciences, geology, genetics, mathematics, medicine, nursing, nutrition, pharmacology, physics, technology, zoology, or any other scientific field.Here is a sample of the kinds of funding covered in the 1996-1998 edition of Money for Graduate Students in the Sciences: $16,000 per year for graduate study or research in the space sciences; up to $21,000 annually for dissertation research in lung disease; tuition and $13,250 annually for doctoral study in the physical sciences; full tuition and $14,000 per year for graduate research in math; $10,000 for graduate research on critical care nursing; and $10,000 for students working on a graduate degree related to water supply.You'll find it easy to use the directory. Each program is clearly described -with detailed information given on purpose, eligibility requirements, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline date. Entries are grouped by level (master's and doctoral) and purpose (research or study), so you can zero in on just the kind of aid you need. You'll even find the same convenience in the indexes, where title, organization, geographic coverage, subject, and deadline date entries are subdivided by both level and type of program.This directory is part of a unique three-volume series, published by Reference Service Press, that describesfunding available to support graduate study and research. The other volumes cover the humanities and the social sciences. Each volume may be purchased separately.
