Foundation Grants to Individuals Online (Main Library Access Only)
http://gtionline.fdncenter.org/ipl.php
Includes descriptions of more than 6,000 foundations and public charities that fund individual grantseekers, and is searchable by nine different criteria.

GrantSelect
http://72.3.247.11/gs/cgi-bin/welcome.pl
GrantSelect is the online version of the GRANTS Database containing over 10,000 funding opportunities provided by over 3,400 sponsoring organizations. Michigan State university faculty, staff, and students can identify additional funding opportunities by searching this database.

MSU Scholarship Search
https://scholendow.ais.msu.edu/student/ScholSearch.Asp
MSU offers a wide variety of scholarships, some of which have criteria which severely limit the number of students who might be eligible for the scholarship, while others have much broader criteria. This facility should help you find those MSU scholarships for which you might be eligible. You can search either by unit (College/Department) within the University or by criteria such as major/specialization, Michigan county of permanent residence, high school, or study abroad.

Cornell University
Graduate School Funding Database
http://www.gradschool.cornell.edu/?p=132

ENotes Scholarships and Loans Directory
http://college.enotes.com/scholarships-loans/
Covers over 4,200 scholarships by type of school, gender, field of study and special recipient criteria. Or you can browse by state/province with the links on the left. Our database contains a total of 7,200 scholarships, grants, loans, prizes and fellowships.

FastWeb
http://www.fastweb.com/.
If you have access to the world wide web and are willing to fill in the online forms, this service promises a free customized list of financial aid sources. FastWeb is actually a searchable database of more than 400,000 private sector scholarships, fellowships, grants, and loans from more than 3,000 sources for all levels of higher education. First-time visitors have to register (first and last name and a user ID), then complete a profile, including background and fields of study. Registrants then receive a list of all currently relevant funding sources. The registration information is stored and can be used on subsequent visits. The entire sign-up process, and delivery of available funding sources, can be a bit tedious: about five to twenty minutes, depending on the connection speed. Approximately 500 new scholarships are added to the database daily, so registrants can stay current.

Thanks for this post, Sheryl. Many the LS have asked me about possible funding sources when I posted about reviewing scholarship/fellowship statements of purpose for free. Now I have somewhere to point them. Offer still stands, by the way. I’ve really enjoyed reviewing your proposals. Inspiring stuff. You can reach me directly at: bryan@elite-essays.com

anybody know if these grant databases are open to foreigners, or just US citizens? none really say, so i assume it’s for Americans. i don’t want to pay the money and then find out i am not eligible.
