Types of Financial Aid Several types of financial aid are available to full-time graduate students. Applicants must be admissible to a graduate program, have an outstanding academic record and present favorable recommendations. Students admitted conditionally are not normally eligible for graduate financial aid until all conditions have been met. Specific financial aid appointments are made by the appropriate academic dean. In general, assistantships carry either a partial or full tuition grant and a stipend.
Fellowships carry stipends and tuition remission.
No student may hold both a fellowship and any other assistantship concurrently. These are available in most graduate departments. The maximum assignment is two classes each semester, or equivalent research duties. University Fellowships , available in the doctoral programs in chemistry, English, history, physics and psychology, provide tuition grants and a stipend. Computer Center Traineeships provide tuition and stipends for an academic year.
