Financial help can also be provided in the form of fellowships from government organizations and foundations. At Lehigh, the EECS Department encourages junior and senior students to engage in research with one of its faculty members. This profitable experience helps the students to identify an area of interest which they may later pursue in the graduate school. Here at Lehigh, we offer an active and vital program leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. We have excellent graduate programs in selected areas of research.
Financial aid is available to graduate students in the form of teaching and research assistantships.
In order to ensure consideration for an assistantship, for the Fall Semester, you should submit your application so that it is complete and ready for review by us no later than January 15th. Assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis , keeping in mind not only the qualifications of the candidates, but also the departmental needs. GRE scores are required if you seek financial aid. After the Department has received your complete application, the reviewing process will take 4-6 weeks . Incomplete applications are not reviewed.
