Financial Assistance MEAM graduate students are able to take advantage of a variety of opportunities for financial support. All recipients of financial aid from the MEAM Department are required to be involved in departmental research activities with a faculty advisor.
Students earn graduate credits for their research work.
When awarding financial aid, strong preference is given to doctoral and PhD-bound master's students. However, limited suport is also available to the students who only seek master's degrees. Graduate students work with one or several faculty members on a sponsored research project. Incoming graduate students are encouraged to contact faculty directly about possible positions. The MEAM Department awards numerous GSI appointments in undegraduate courses to well-qualified incoming graduate students.
