To ensure efficient processing of the application and consideration for all forms of financial assistance, it is recommended that applicants for regular fall semester admission make certain that their application and all related materials are in the Graduate School by January 31. Applications and all related materials for admission or readmission to any other term should reach the Graduate School Office at least eight weeks before the beginning of the term in which enrollment is requested. Such appointments allows the appointee to carry a maximum of 12 hours of graduate study per semester. In addition, those on a full assistanship get tuition paid by the University. Research assistantships carrying similar stipends are available for advanced students.
Financial aid is available for the summer on a limited basis.
Students in statistics are also eligible to apply directly to the National Science Foundation for fellowships. Students desiring to apply for financial aid should so indicate in the application for admission, which should be received before January 31. Awards are announced in February and March. Applications received later will be considered, as long as funds remain available. This tuition is waived for assistantship holders.
