...and because the competitiveness of academia and the scarcity of funding often breeds information hoarding, which ultimately benefits no one. So my request is that as you read, learn, and are reminded of due dates, applications, calls for proposals, etc. (whether that be on this site or others), send it to others, share it out, and resist the ways this system tries to pit us against one another, and let's instead, build each other up.
For navigation, you can imagine this page as two sections: the first as ongoing and regularly updated for conference & fellowship/program deadlines; and the second as static with journals, academic orgs, and job portal sites. Teal indicates hyperlinks.

Fellowships & Scholarships |
Ordered by due date
*Last updated May 13, 2025 |
Many of these opportunities vary in terms of academic status such as before or during the dissertation stage, as well as when a faculty member. Different academic organizations also offer fellowships, grants, and scholarships so please make sure to look at them too.
|
(PRE)DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
Typically before proposing the dissertation and advancing to candidacy
RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS/GRANTS
|
DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIPS
Typically for writing and completing the dissertation (but also varies). Fellowships also differ in eligibility with candidacy: some require candidacy by the time of application submission; others are just before the fellowship start date.

JOURNALS

CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT JOURNALS ARE OUT THERE?
Here's a list created by Bowling Green State University on peer-review journals within higher education and student affairs. For those of you who publish at the intersection of international education, global studies, and higher education, check out this list too, from the Higher Education Special Interest Group within the Comparative Education and International Studies (CIES) academic organization.
WANT TO KNOW YOUR JOURNAL REACH?
Many academic journals have a number called "Impact Factor," which is a calculation based on the readership, the number of times a journal is being cited, and more. These numbers are important for things like tenure/promotion, but please note that some really excellent journals do not have impact factors. And, like most measurements, these numbers are products of our socialization (along the same vein of how college rankings are constructed). Vertical Divider

WHAT ABOUT FOR GRAD STUDENTS ?
Here are some journals a bit more friendly and receptive to graduate students, but please don't limit yourself! (Thank you to ASHE CEP 2018 for putting it together).
