Nearly a quarter of our students study abroad. We have programs in China, Great Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Japan and Spain. The individual department, based on information you provide on your admission application and supplemental information you provide, decides all scholarships, grants, and tuition waivers based on merit. Scholarships may come in the form of full tuition scholarships or waivers, half tuition scholarships or waivers, or other varying amounts. Students who receive merit awards may also be eligible for additional need-based assistance in the form of student loans.
Most graduate students are eligible for some type of student loan.
Loans offered to the student have to be repaid, usually after graduation, so students should not borrow more than they need or are able to repay. All financial documents described below must be brought to the Office of Financial Assistance before loan eligibility can be determined. For graduate students applying only for merit scholarships, grants, or tuition waivers application should be made directly to the department you are applying to. This form may be obtained from any college financial aid office. It usually becomes available in December.
