Grants & Fellowship for Graduate School
Are you done with your B.A. and wondering about your next step? Wondering if you can afford going to a Master or Doctoral Program? Here are some links to websites that help identify grants and fellowships for Hispanic American/Latinos that want to attend programs such as Library Sciences, Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) fields of graduate study. As a Puerto Rican, I was able to take advantanges of some of these opportunities and I hope some of you follow a graduate study path beyond your BA or find the support that you need to finish your graduate degree.
