Dear Graduate Students,

Oh my goodness. I can't even deal with the number of great funding opportunities that are open right now.

?  Are you from China and looking for funding for your dissertation related to Chinese culture or society? Look below.

?  Does your research have to do with transportation and communities? More information below.

?  Are you a writer with a story that features a teacher? Actually, I decided not to include that opportunity because this newsletter was getting way too long.
But you will be surprised at some of the terrific funding opportunities below.

Shelley
