Graduate School Application Timeline

 

Funding Graduate School

Graduate school can be expensive! Here is an incomplete list of scholarships available to help ease that burden. In addition to this list, you should research scholarships particular to the degree or field you are interested in pursuing.

Other CC resources available to you are the Nationally Competitive Fellowships page of the CC website. Lisa Schwartz (lschwartz@coloradocollege.edu) is the student opportunities manager, and can help you navigate these resources. Additionally, the Career Center is available to help you with your applications and connect you with opportunities; use handshake to set up a meeting with them.
