Why should you use the directory? The 2005-2007 edition of Money for Graduate Students in the Biological & Health Sciences is unique in many ways. First, the directory only lists programs open to graduate students in these specific scientific areas. Now, you will just need to check one place to find the biggest and best fellowships, grants, and awards set aside specifically for students interested in working on a master's, professional, or doctoral degree in:
Biology
Botany
Chemistry
Dentistry
Genetics
Horticulture
Medicine
Nutrition
Pharmacology
Rehabilitation
Veterinary sciences
Zoology
or any other biological or health field
Second of all, only "free" money is identified. Here's your chance to target programs that offer at least $1,000 per year to each recipient (and many go way beyond that, awarding full tuition or $30,000+ to graduate students annually), knowing that not one dollar of that will need to be repaid (provided, of course, that stated requirements are met)!
In addition, all of the funding opportunities described here are "portable," so you can take the money awarded by these fellowships to any number of schools.
What information is included in the directory? The directory has been designed to make your search as easy as possible. 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), so you can zero in on just the type of aid you need. You'll even find the same convenience in the indexes, where title, organization, geographic coverage, subject, and deadline date are subdivided by student level. With all these benefits, it's not surprising that Choice has "highly recommended Money for Graduate Students in the Biological & Health Sciences.
This directory has been prepared as part of RSP's four-volume Graduate Funding Set. Each volume in the set focuses on a different subject area. Money for Graduate Students in the Biological & Health Sciences can be purchased separately or at a discounted price as part of this set.
