    Additional sources:
     Please note that there are many, many sources of funding at UM--most U-M Schools, Colleges, Programs (Honors, RC) & Departments may offer funding to their own students.  UM funding sources are usually for students who will continue studies after their internship or research experience, i.e. not for students who have graduated. See Global Michigan listings and look under Academics (or Resources) for "funding," "fellowships," "grants," a
     nd 
    search from UM's home page using these terms.
