Have you decided to get a graduate degree in the social or behavioral sciences? Congratulations. You have made a wise decision. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the average salary for a college graduate is around $40,000. But, this figure rises to more than $50,000 for master’s degree recipients and to $75,000 or more for those with doctoral or professional degrees. Getting a graduate education, however, is expensive. It can cost more than $20,000 to complete a master’s degree and $100,000 or more to finish some doctoral or professional degrees. That’s more than most students can afford to pay on their own. Fortunately, there are millions of dollars available to support graduate study, training, research, and creative activities (writing, projects, etc.) in accounting, anthropology and ethnology, business administration, criminology, demography and statistics, economics, education, geography, international relations, law, library/information science, marketing, political science, psychology, sociology, and the rest of the social/behavioral sciences. The challenge, of course, is to identify those opportunities.
In the past, it was difficult to find out about funding available to graduate students in the social or behavioral sciences. Traditional financial aid directories didn’t offer much assistance. The eclectic Scholarships, Fellowships, and Loans (published by the Gale Group) just begins to scratch the surface in its coverage. Fewer than 300 funding programs for students in the social sciences are described in the Graduate Scholarship Book (Career Press). And, the Directory of Research Grants (Oryx Press) emphasizes research and creative activities (rather than study), is aimed at the professional and postdoctorate rather than the graduate student, and is arranged by program title (so, to identify graduate listings, you would have to scan through all of the entries in the directory).
