Financial resources include tuition scholarships with possible additional funding such as graduate assistantships and University fellowships. The department tries to fund all students in academic good standing through the first four years of graduate study. Some of this support may come from sources outside the University, such as practicum placements. There are also a limited number of fellowships for students who are conducting dissertation research. Application for financial aid is automatic once the appropriate box on the application form is checked.
Special consideration is given to minority applicants in the distribution of financial aid.
