Students who have teaching assistantships or fellowships for 20 or more hours per week receive health insurance. To apply for a graduate fellowship or assistantship, contact your department chair. The Office of Postgraduate Fellowships assists students in identifying and pursuing externally funded research and study opportunities such as Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, James Madison, Harry S. Truman, Andrew W. Mellon and National Science Foundation scholarships and fellowships. UNT graduate students may also apply for traditional financial aid in the form of state and institutional grants, as well as for work-study jobs and loans. Most funds are awarded based on financial need, although some loans are not.
Graduate students are eligible for graduate school fellowships and general academic scholarships.
Hundreds of graduate scholarships are offered by academic departments. Check with your college, school or department for their conditions and application deadlines. Nominations from departments for these fellowships are due in the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies by Feb. 28. To apply, contact your department chair. Eleven academic scholarships are designated for graduate students only, and dozens of graduate students receive other university scholarships each year.
