We know paying for your education is a big concern for many grad students – that’s why we’re here to help. We’re proud to offer a world-class graduate education that’s affordable, with plenty of support along the way. In addition to competitive tuition, we offer students financial support through graduate assistantships, scholarships and other forms of financial aid.
The Graduate School offers a variety of assistantship positions including Graduate and Teaching Assistantships for full-time master’s students and Doctoral Fellowships, Assistantships and Teaching Assistantships for those pursuing a PhD. Assistantships are competitive and compensation varies across programs and colleges but a student may receive full tuition and fee remission or a stipend for hours worked.
