Items they wish to know about may include, but are not limited to:

• Level of study completed
• Demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, single-parent, returning student, etc.)
• Citizenship/residency (some funders may only be allowed to give to U.S. citizens)
• Long-term goals
• Geographic Location of the activity to be funded

Funding types describe how the money may be spent. Here are some of the ways in which you may receive funding:
