Such needs typically are for laboratory assistants, currently unsponsored research, and paper grading. Rates of pay for all assistantships are set uniformly within the College of Engineering on the basis of academic standing and prior experience. As a means of enhancing UCF s ability to attract outstanding graduate students, tuition waivers are available, as funds allow, to top ranked students. Typically, doctoral students are given first priority for these waivers. To be eligible, students must hold a current graduate assistantship, and must take at least 6 semester hours.
All financial support is tied to the student s good progress toward degree completion.
