Grants for
Graduate Students
Funding Opportunities in the Liberal Arts
This list of grant opportunities is designed to help graduate students in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of
Texas at Austin identify support for the various phases of their graduate careers. It includes 214 grants; 187 support
graduate study in the social sciences, and 109 fund work in the humanities. Fifty-one opportunities are open to
international students and another 132 state no specific citizenship requirements. The grants cover multiple phases of
study including coursework, pre-dissertation research and travel, professional training opportunities, dissertation
research, and dissertation writing.
While this list is not intended to be comprehensive, it does represent three years of careful searching for opportunities
for Liberal Arts graduate students. We hope you find it useful as one resource in your grant search.
—Liberal Arts Grants Services, August 2014
How to Use this List
Please skim: Only a fraction of the
opportunities here will be relevant to any
individual student's specific area of study.
The format is designed to be easy to skim so
that you can identify these more quickly.
Deadlines: A majority of the opportunities
here recur on an annual basis, but in some
cases the sponsor had not posted a new
deadline at the time the list was compiled.
Please use previous year's deadlines as a
guideline and check back with sponsors that
interest you for updates.
Some grants may be submitted directly to the
sponsor, others require the university to
officially approve and submit your grant. In all
cases, the deadline listed is the date of
required first contact. If the grant will be
submitted through Liberal Arts Grants
Services, the listed deadline is three weeks in
advance of the sponsor's deadline.
How to apply: Most grants are either
submitted directly to the sponsor or through
Liberal Arts Grants Services. There are others,
however, that require special procedures
such as departmental review, approval by the
Graduate School, or competitive universitywide review. Please read the "how to apply"
section carefully for the grants that interest
you and be sure to contact the individuals
listed there for additional information, if
necessary.
International Students: A handful of grants,
especially those funded by the U.S.
government, restrict applications to U.S.
citizens and permanent residents.
In this list, "Y" indicates that the sponsor
accepts applications from international
students. In some cases, the sponsor may
designate specific nationalities that may
apply, or they may require that the
international student should be enrolled in a
U.S. university at the time of application.
"N" indicates that the sponsor will accept
applications from U.S. citizens or permanent
residents only.
"Unknown" means that the solicitation was
not clear on nationality or citizenship
requirements. International students
interested in these opportunities should
clarify by reading the solicitation carefully
and contacting the sponsor if need be.
Discipline: Grants have been marked as
Humanities, Social Sciences or both for your
convenience. Individual sponsors may have
nuanced interpretations of this division, so be
sure to read the solicitation carefully to make
sure that the sponsor accepts proposals from
your discipline.
Some sponsors are more interested in your
methodology than your home department—
if you use methodological tools from other
disciplines (i.e. humanists who use
ethnography or linguistic methods, and social
scientists who draw on archival research) be
sure to consider opportunities in your
broader, interdisciplinary base.

Deadline: Open
Amount: $20,000 (direct costs)/1-3 yrs.
Description: The Archaeology Program
supports anthropologically relevant
archaeological research. This means that the
value of the proposed research can be

The Program sets no priorities by either
geographic region or time period. It also has
no priorities in regard to theoretical
orientation or question and it is the
responsibility of the applicant to explain
convincingly why these are significant and
have the potential to contribute to
anthropological knowledge. While the
Program, in order to encourage innovative
research, neither limits nor defines specific
categories of research type, most
applications either request funds for field
research and/or the analysis of
archaeological material through multiple
approaches. The Program also supports
methodological projects which develop
analytic techniques of potential
archaeological value.

Title: Doctoral Dissertation Research
Improvement Grants (DDRIGs) in Archeology
(NSF 11-547)
Sponsor: National Science Foundation (NSF)
Deadline: Open
Amount: $20,000
Description: Grants to doctoral students are
intended to improve the quality of
dissertation research. These grants provide
funds for items not normally available
through the student's university. Additionally,
these grants allow doctoral students to
undertake significant data-gathering projects
and to conduct field research in settings away
from their campus that would not otherwise
be possible. Proposals are judged on the basis
of their scientific merit, including the
theoretical importance of the research
question and the appropriateness of the
proposed data and methodology to be used
in addressing the question. The NSF
Archeology Program constitutes part of a
larger Anthropological Sciences cluster and
its focus is limited to research of clear
anthropological significance. In a proposal the
students should describe why their research
is important from an anthropological
perspective. *Note: NSF DDRIGs now require
indirect costs be included in the budget. For
the Archeology competition, indirect costs
may be calculated in addition to $20,000
budget max.
