Whether you're a PhD scholar seeking a personalized funding strategy or a graduate program looking to better support your scholars, we provide practical, research-informed guidance that builds confidence, expands funding access, and strengthens long-term research success.
How We Help
For PhD Scholars
Personalized funding strategy, funding opportunity research, and proposal feedback designed to help you pursue competitive scholarships, fellowships, dissertation funding, and research grants with confidence.
For Higher Education Institutions
We partner with graduate programs, research centers, and tuition-dependent institutions to strengthen funding readiness, support doctoral scholar success, and develop sustainable funding strategies through educational consulting, workshops, and customized programming.
Our Mission
At Franco Funding Strategies, we believe access to funding should not depend on the institution you attend. Our mission is to expand access to research funding through equity, strategic guidance, and empowerment, with a continued commitment to supporting first-generation, BIPOC, and community-engaged scholars while partnering with institutions to build stronger pathways to funding success.
