Financial Aid Fellowships University Fellowships, which are administered through the Graduate School, are awarded to both new and continuing graduate students in most academic areas. Students must be nominated by their graduate advisers for all fellowships administered by the Graduate School.
Many graduate programs award fellowships to students majoring in specific areas.
As a general rule, fellowships require no service from the recipient. They may provide for payment of tuition and required fees in addition to the stipend. Assistantships Various teaching, research, and academic assistantships are awarded by the departments. These appointments require specific service. Nonresidents and international students who hold assistantships may, under certain conditions, pay tuition and fees at the rate charged to state residents.
