This page is very very very much a work in process!

The Directory of Research Grants (Foundation Center) 36th edition, 2013 ; Terrell Library Reference Collection

Scholarships, Fellowships, and Loans 27th edition, 2010 ; Terrell Library Reference Collection

The College Blue Book: Scholarships, Fellowships, Grant and Loans 38th edition, 2011 ; Terrell Library Reference Collection

Grants and Related Resources [Jon Harrison, Michigan State University)
An excellent collection of grants and funding resources (watch out for the ones that are MI-only, though). Be sure to especially take a look at the Grants for Individuals page, which is expressly focused on funding for individuals, i.e. research grants, fellowships, and scholarships.
Graduate Funding Information Service - GFIS (University of Washington Libraries)
Try resources from the searchable Databases from Academic Institutions box on this page. Many of these will be specific to their institution (i.e. Columbia, Duke, etc.) but others will be open to students from other colleges and universities. Be sure to look at the other resources on the broader GFIS site; it is an *excellent* guide!
Grants.gov
"SEARCH Grants.gov for your federal grants by keywords or more specific criteria. All discretionary grants offered by the 26 federal grant-making agencies can be found on Grants.gov."

Foundation Center Resources

Foundation Grants to Individuals: Scholarships, Fellowships, Awards [Foundation Center database]
The WSU Libraries does not subscribe to this, but individuals can purchase their own subscription to this, starting from $19.95 for one month's access. To get a sense of what it includes, take a look at the print edition from 2005 that is in the Terrell Library Reference Collection at (it's much better as a database than as a print book ;-)
Spokane Public Library Foundation Center (a Foundation Center Funding Information Center)
Must visit the Downtown library to use the Foundation Directory Online Professional, Foundation Grants to Individuals, and Philanthropy In/Sight databases.
