Scholarships
Several types of graduate fellowships and scholarships are provided by the University to well-qualified students. Application for a scholarship or fellowship is made by checking off the appropriate box on the Graduate Application. A limited number of part-time employment is available in the various offices and departments of the University.
Complete or partial tuition remission may be available to qualified students on a per-need basis. Requests for tuition remission should be made at the time of application.
Four- or nine-month teaching assistantships may be offered to some full-time graduate students (primarily Ph.D. candidates). Teaching assistants are assigned various duties according to the needs of the department, and normally involve working 17 hours a week on teaching-related activities.
Research scholarships or fellowships may be awarded to graduate students who are pursuing a full-time doctoral program on campus. Each department allocates its own research fellowships, usually to continuing students.
