College-wide Funding Opportunities
As you plan for your winter and summer breaks, or prep for your course or senior thesis research, don't forget to check out the many opportunities for funding your plans, whether it is for independent research, research assistantships, or career-related internships and externships.

Requesting Recommendation Letters
Funding opportunities and graduate school plans entail requesting letters of recommendation from your very busy professors and employers. Getting the etiquette right is crucial for you to cultivate good relations with your recommenders and to help them write compelling and accurate letters.
