GSO travel grants
The UH graduate student organization (GSO) makes awards for travel to meetings. Maximum is $1000 for travel to a meeting to present original results. An applicant who has received a previous travel grant is ineligible to reapply for future GSO travel grants. Proposals are reviewed three times a year:
Sigma Xi
The Sigma Xi scientific research society offers grants-in-aid of research of up to $2500. Deadline is March 15th. Applicants do not have to be members of Sigma Xi.

Soroptimist International
Provides financial grants to women in the final phase of their doctoral degrees.
AAS career services
The American Astronomical Society maintains a long list of fellowships that are open to astronomers. Many are only for postdoctoral researchers, but some are aimed at graduate students.
Association for Women in Science Graduate Fellowships
Luise Meyer-Schutzmeister Award of $1000, deadline in January. For women only.
NSERC (Canada)
Canadian students at UH may be eligible for NSERC funding.
Graduate Fellowships for STEM Diversity
You have to be a U.S. citizen and either in your first year at the IfA, or returning from the workforce with no more than a master’s. But the great thing is that it is possible to get funding for SIX years. They emphasize funding under-represented students, including women.
