Financial Aid Information

Assistantships
Individual departments award teaching and research fellowships. You work part time while pursuing your studies. A stipend (a small amount of money) and sometimes tuition remission is granted. Inquire within the department of each school to which you apply for information about assistantships. In some cases, assistantships are reserved for second-year students.

Fellowships
On the graduate level, fellowships are the equivalent to scholarships. They're a monetary award given on the basis of scholastic record. Inquire about applying for fellowships and assistantships early on in the admission process.

Long-Term Loans
The federal government offers low-interest loans which you repay over a long period of time. Check with the financial aid department and local banks for information.

College Work Study
Institutions award part-time employment to students who demonstrate a need for financial aid.

Other Employment
Check out part-time jobs in the local community if you need further financial assistance for graduate school.
