I have compiled a fairly extensive list of fellowships open to
astronomy students (particular emphasis on grants for female
astronomers). Deadlines are valid for 2002-2003 school year,
however most deadlines are within a day or two of being accurate for
other years.
If you know of an opportunity which is
not listed here, please let me know so that I can add it to the list.
My goal is to make this as complete as possible.
