Graduate Fellowships
All applicants who qualify for admission to the Graduate School may apply to their program chairperson or the dean of their college for information on graduate fellowships, cooperative education internships, assistantships and departmental scholarships. Students admitted on probation or placed on academic probation following admission are not eligible for assistantship or fellowship awards. The Graduate School's Sources of Financial Assistance document is a comprehensive listing of various financial options available to students.
Students wishing to be considered for assistantships, fellowships, or other forms of financial awards should indicate their interest to their graduate coordinator or department chair as soon as possible after notification of admission.
