Additional Fellowships and Funding Sources
Harvard Fellowships and Funding Sources
Harvard University offers a wide range of funding opportunities for students. Some fellowships offer a full time work experience; grants and fellowships may also offer funding to help Harvard students to travel and conduct research overseas. The goal of these funding sources is to extend the academic experience beyond the classroom setting.
CARAT Database for Grants and Fellowships
CARAT offers students a single, easy-to-navigate database for grants and fellowships appropriate to graduate and postdoctoral students.
Students can search and sort opportunities by program duration, purpose, academic area, and travel area.
Examples include:
- Joint Center for Housing Studies’ Gramlich Summer Fellowship in Community and Economic Development
- Brazil Research Grants
- AAUW Selected Professions Fellowships for Women
- Philippe Wamba Summer Research Travel Grant, Harvard African and African American Studies
