There exist fellowships, traineeships, and other
kinds of support for graduate students; these are provided by state, federal
and private agencies. Graduate students at WSU are automatically considered
for those administered at WSU, as these become available. Applications for
awards not administered through WSU are left to the individual student, who
may, however, count on the cooperation of the Department in these matters.
The variety of these awards, and the rapidity with which their terms change, make it impractical to list them here. A file of relevant announcements, lists, and application forms is maintained in the department office, and students should feel free to ask for it. A booklet, Fellowship and Research Opportunities in Mathematics, has appeared annually in recent years and may be obtained from the Division of Mathematical Sciences, National Research Council, 2101 Constitutional Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20418. Announcements about fellowships, etc., frequently appear in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society. The WSU Office of Grant and Research Development located on the 4th floor of Neill Hall can also be helpful. It is also possible to obtain long- and short-term loans on very favorable terms. Inquiries should be made at the Student Financial Aid Office.
