Scholarships and Funding
Financial Assistance
The department has a limited number of teaching and research assistantships available. These assistantships provide a monthly salary during the academic year, may include a waiver of base graduate tuition during the academic year and summer, but do not cover the minimal activity fee.
In addition, there are opportunities, both in the department and on the campus, to perform part-time work as graders, teachers, tutors, and consultants. These assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis -- typically at the time of admission for the fall semester.
