Funding Strategy Intensive

$197.00

Get clear on where to focus your funding efforts

Feeling overwhelmed by the funding landscape or unsure where to begin? The Funding Strategy Intensive is a focused 60-minute one-on-one consultation designed to help you clarify your funding goals, identify promising directions, and determine your next steps.

Together, we'll assess your current funding needs, research interests, academic goals, and timeline to identify the funding pathways that make the most sense for you. Whether you're exploring scholarships, fellowships, dissertation funding, or research grants, you'll leave with greater clarity and a practical plan for moving forward.

This service is ideal for getting unstuck and gaining direction—not for conducting an extensive funding search or developing a comprehensive long-term funding strategy.

✓ Complimentary 15-Minute Discovery Call (Optional)
A brief consultation to discuss your goals, answer questions, and determine whether the Funding Strategy Intensive is the right fit for your needs.

A personalized Zoom consultation focused on your research, academic goals, current funding needs, and immediate priorities.

✓ Funding Landscape Discussion
We'll explore the types of funding that may align with your academic stage, research, career goals, and current funding needs.

✓ Funding Opportunity Snapshot
A brief discussion of 1–2 potential funding opportunities or funding pathways that may align with your goals. These are intended to provide direction for your next steps and are not a comprehensive funding search or eligibility analysis.

✓ Session Insights Report
A written summary of your consultation, including key discussion points, personalized recommendations, and a prioritized action checklist to guide your next steps.

Funding Research Package

$397.00

Identify high-value funding opportunities without spending weeks searching.

Save valuable time and eliminate the guesswork from your funding search. The Funding Research Package provides a customized funding report featuring carefully researched funding opportunities aligned with your research interests, academic goals, career stage, and institutional context. Instead of spending countless hours searching through databases and generic funding lists, you'll receive a strategic selection of high-fit scholarships, fellowships, dissertation funding opportunities, and research grants—allowing you to focus your energy on preparing competitive applications.

Many doctoral funding opportunities award $5,000 to more than $70,000, meaning that a single successful application could provide financial support that far exceeds the cost of this service. While funding decisions are ultimately made by sponsoring organizations and cannot be guaranteed, this package is designed to help you identify high-value opportunities, prioritize your efforts, and move forward with a clear, research-informed funding strategy.
