There are a number of different types of financial assistance available to graduate students in the College of Marine Science.
Most students receive assistance in one form or another.
We receive number of Graduate Assistantships from the University. Many students receive financial aid from Research Assistantships , which are awarded by individual faculty members who have research grants and who need assistance to meet the objectives of the research. These assistantships are generally awarded to students who have been here one or more years. Since the awarding of research funds to faculty members by various agencies is commonly not in synchrony with the academic year, it is generally not possible to promise research assistantships in advance to new, incoming students. Teaching Assistantships are available, but limited.
