The Tisch School of the Arts has joined GSAS and the School of Education in making grant information available to graduate students online through NYU CWIS. Tisch students can find grants categorized by field such as acting or film production as well as by general interest. Soon after the Tisch GIGS page was posted in September 1995, it was being accessed some 500 times a week.

NYU's GIGS (Grants in Graduate Studies) is an online information source designed to help graduate students locate grant money for tuition and dissertation research. GIGS was established in the summer of 1994 by the Graduate School of Arts and Science and joined shortly thereafter in the fall by the School of Education. This resource includes U.S. government, international, corporate and private funding agencies that support graduate study and research as well as departmental grants internal to New York University. (For more on GIGS, see the September 1994 issue of this publication.) [ C ]
