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.

Getting a graduate degree is definitely a smart move. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average salary for a college graduate is less than $28,000. But, this figure rises to $37,000 for master's degree recipients and to more than $66,000 for those with doctoral or professional degrees. However, graduate school is expensive. It can cost $20,000 or more to complete a master's degree and up to $75,000 to finish some doctoral or professional degrees. That's more than most students can afford to pay on their own. Where can they turn for help? Reference Service Press provides the answer to that question in a unique three-volume series, which describes thousands of funding sources available specifically to support study and research on the graduate school level. Each volume is sold separately and deals with a different discipline: the social sciences, the sciences, and the humanities. In Money for Graduate Students in the Social Sciences, more than 1,000 funding opportunities are described in detail. And, it's easy to use the directory. No straight alphabetical listing of programs here; instead, you'll be able to customize your search by zeroing in on entries grouped by both level (master's or doctoral) and purpose (study or research). You can even access the programs by specific subject, title, sponsor, residency requirements, tenability, and deadline date. Now, in one place, you can find all the programs that are available to help you pay for a master's or doctoral degree in accounting, advertising, anthropology and ethnology, business administration, demography and statistics, economics, education, geography, international relations, law, library/information science,marketing, political science, psychology, sociology, or any other social science. There's never been a book like this.

Millions of dollars are available to support graduate study and research in architecture, art, dance, design, filmmaking, history, languages, literature, music, performing arts, philosophy, religion, sculpture, and the rest of the humanities. Until now, however, it has been difficult to find out about these opportunities. Information about them has been either scattered throughout a number of directories or, for many programs, not available at all. With the publication of Money for Graduate Students in the Humanities, this has all changed. Now, graduate students working on a master's or doctoral degree can easily find out about the nearly 1,000 fellowships, loans, grants, and awards available to support their work in the humanities. The programs described here range from $17,500 per year for study at a religious seminary, to $13,000 for graduate research on the history of art or architecture, to $30,000 to complete a dissertation in Judaic studies, to $33,500 for the study of Byzantine culture, to full tuition plus $13,250 for the first year of graduate work in any branch of the humanities. Full details are given for each program: contact information, purpose, eligibility, money awarded, duration, special features, limitations, number offered, and deadline date. Since the entries are grouped by both recipient (master's or doctoral students) and type of program (research or study), you'll be able to turn directly to the section that describes the type of funding you need. Plus, extensive indexing lets you access the programs by subject, residency, tenability, sponsor, title, and deadline. Money for Graduate Students in the Humanities is part of a new series issued by ReferenceService Press; the other titles cover graduate funding in the social sciences and the sciences. Each volume is sold separately.
