College and University Fellowships and Funding

There are many funding opportunities through the College of Education and Human Development, and the University of Minnesota (through the Graduate School).

College Opportunities

The College of Education and Human Development maintains a listing of college awards and scholarships, scholarships and awards available through private institutions, financial aid resources, and more. These listings cover specialties and fields from CEHD departments other than Family Social Science, and may not always apply to FSoS students, though students are encouraged to explore these opportunities for funding and support.
