Grants and Fellowships

[rufzilla]

Hi all,

So I'm really new to the whole idea of grants and fellowships and was wondering if you guys could help lead me in the right direction and give me some information on the whole process. I'll be entering graduate school for my MA in Literary Studies this Fall and don't really know what grants/ fellowships I should be looking at. I try to look for them on the internet and get overwhelmed by all of the different ones and stipulations they set forth. Can you guys give me the names of some I could look into? Thanks in advance!

Your department should be able to tell you which fellowships students typically apply for and receive. This is much more productive than searching the web, because they have already done the work of finding most of the major relevant programs. Also, ask your fellow students who have been there for at least a year, I'm sure they are a wealth of information. They all have gone through the same process.
