Book Description

Getting a graduate degree is definitely a smart move. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average salary for a college graduate is less than $28,000. But, this figure rises to $37,000 for master's degree recipients and to more than $66,000 for those with doctoral or professional degrees. However, graduate school is expensive. It can cost $20,000 or more to complete a master's degree and up to $75,000 to finish some doctoral or professional degrees. That's more than most students can afford to pay on their own. Where can they turn for help? Reference Service Press provides the answer to that question in a unique three-volume series, which describes thousands of funding sources available specifically to support study and research on the graduate school level. Each volume is sold separately and deals with a different discipline: the social sciences, the sciences, and the humanities. In Money for Graduate Students in the Social Sciences, more than 1,000 funding opportunities are described in detail. And, it's easy to use the directory. No straight alphabetical listing of programs here; instead, you'll be able to customize your search by zeroing in on entries grouped by both level (master's or doctoral) and purpose (study or research). You can even access the programs by specific subject, title, sponsor, residency requirements, tenability, and deadline date. Now, in one place, you can find all the programs that are available to help you pay for a master's or doctoral degree in accounting, advertising, anthropology and ethnology, business administration, demography and statistics, economics, education, geography, international relations, law, library/information science,marketing, political science, psychology, sociology, or any other social science. There's never been a book like this.
