Scholarships
There are a number of resources on campus to assist and reward deserving students. We encourage you to visit the Office of Scholarships to determine if there is a program for you. Scholarship and fellowship programs can be merit-based, needs-based, student-specific (e.g., international, transfer students, female students, first generation college students), career-specific, or discipline-specific.
Before submitting your application packet, you should seek constructive review from your mentors or advisors. Putting together a strong packet often requires several revisions.
TA's and RA's Application
Full-time graduate students who wish to receive a teaching assistantship must complete an online application form. Ph.D. applicants will be offered an assistantship (teaching or research), if funding is available.
Students are encouraged to contact faculty in their area of interest to determine if research assistantships are available.
