Funding Opportunities The Research Center has identified funding opportunities for students and faculty in a variety of areas. Each month, Walden University’s Research Center features funding opportunities and provides links to more information. Many of these may not apply to this year’s studies but may be a better fit in later years of your academic career. Student researchers may use the form located at www.waldenu.edu/grants to request a personal grant search.
HECUA and the Otto Bremer Foundation’s Graduate Fellowship on Philanthropy and Human Rights The Graduate Fellowship on Philanthropy and Human Rights is a joint venture between the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) and the Otto Bremer Foundation. The fellowship seeks to advance human rights through the nonprofit sector as well as provide minority graduate students learning experience in the field of philanthropy. The fellowship fosters an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural community of professionals and students committed to human rights while they conduct independent research related to Otto Bremer Foundation's funding priorities. The scholars’ research involves collaboration with local nonprofits and communities while integrating fellowship research with academic objectives.
The graduate scholars spend the academic year working on their individual research projects with support from HECUA, an advisory committee of university faculty from various colleges and universities, and staff at the Otto Bremer Foundation. The scholars work at the Otto Bremer Foundation’s St. Paul, Minn., office, have access to resources and community contacts, attend seminars and conferences relating to Human Rights and Philanthropy, and receive a $13,500 stipend to support their research.
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) supports Canadian graduate students who conduct their thesis research in the field of international development. The IDRC Doctoral Research Awards are intended to promote the growth of Canadian capacity in research on sustainable and equitable development from an international perspective.
Applications will be accepted for research at the doctoral level in areas corresponding to IDRC's research priorities. IDRC's research activities focus on four program areas:
Applicants must hold Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status in Canada or be a citizen of a developing country.
Sigma Xi’s Grants-in-Aid of Research Program The Sigma Xi Grants-in-Aid of Research (GIAR) program provides undergraduate and graduate students with valuable educational experiences. The program promotes scientific excellence and achievement through hands-on learning by encouraging close working relationships between students and faculty.
The program awards grants of up to $1,000 to students from all areas of the sciences and engineering.
