Financial aid is granted on a competitive basis.
Applicants are judged for academic potential based on past performance, experience, motivation, and dedication to the designated area of interest, and where applicable, the potential to satisfy the objectives of a donor. Fellowships have minimum GPA and GRE score requirements. Information about the current availability of financial aid can be obtained from the graduate coordinator or, in the case of research assistantships, directly from faculty members working in the area of interest. The University's Office of Student Financial Aid is a campuswide resource available to graduate students. New graduate students might be able to find graduate assistant positions in other units.
