A recipient of a Graduate School Fellowship must be enrolled as a full-time student. Desire for consideration for a fellowship can be indicated on the Graduate School's application form. Completed applications should be submitted to the Graduate School faculty for review before January 15 for the following September. Awards are announced by April 1. This program provides financial assistance on a competitive basis in the form of teaching assistantships and fellowships in conjunction with full tuition waivers.
Priority is given to incoming students except for dissertation fellowships.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to provide a complete admissions file by February 1 for Fall Enrollment. Students who wish to be considered for the Opportunity Scholar Fellows Program are urged to submit GRE scores even if not required to do so by the graduate program. This Office posts assistantship opportunities and processes graduate appointments and associated waivers. The Assistantship Office can also provide you with a list of academic and administrative departments that fund students from a particular major. This Office does not assign nor determine who gets assistantships.
