grants & fellwoships

The deadlines for Spring grants and fellowships are quickly approaching. On our campus the GSO grant deadline is 30 January, and the UAlbany Benevolent Association Grants deadline is in the middle of February. Our correspondent, MD, has written a handful of tips and suggestions to keep in mind while thinking about grants and fellowships.
