PhD Funding

[Brent123]

I applied for a doctoral program and there is only one position available for a graduate research assistant. Does anyone have any other ideas for external funding? I have a strong feeling there’s limited internal funding opportunities at the university other than that one departmental position.

In the same boat, looking forward to hearing what others say.

Most universities provide substantial scholarships, studentships and other PhD funding opportunities. ... A further means to fund a PhD is by obtaining a PhD position, sometimes also called PhD studentships or assistantships. These are essentially jobs tied to the PhD program, involving work in teaching, research or both.
