Links
Below are links to different websites that I find interesting and helpful in all aspects of my graduate career from looking at earthquake hazards, modeling earthquakes using InSAR, earthquake games, to applying for graduate fellowships. Take a look!

Fellowships, Scholarships, Grants
These are types of funding that I have researched and found useful. This is NOT a full list of funding out there, just the ones I have applied for.
Every University of California has this fellowship, your department needs to nominate you in order to apply.
This is up to $1,000 award for anything related to your dissertation needs (not including conference travel, lab assistant, and computers). Check it out!
Here is the webpage from Graduate Division with a lot more opportunities.
This is a fellowship that is near and dear to my heart. NSF has provided some amazing opportunities for me that I would have not gotten otherwise. This includes the Graduate Research Opportunities Worldwide (GROW) to create collaborations anywhere around the world and Graduate Research Internship Program (GRIP) which is an internship program allowing fellows to collaborate with scientists at top government labs including USGS, NOAA, DHS, EPA, FBI, and more! Through the GRIP I collaborated at the USGS on research that will now be in my dissertation, an opportunity that I would not have gotten otherwise as it is only offered to NSF GRFP Fellows.
This is a great opportunity for every graduate student. Check out the requirements to see if your eligible.
If want to take a look at a successful application, I would be happy to show you mine (2015 Fellow). Send me an email!
