For the past several years, most graduate students in the Department have received assistantships.
Tuition is waived for students holding assistantships.
A limited number of scholarships are available from the College of Family and Consumer Sciences. If a master's student receives a Kilgore Scholarship, application may be made again as a doctoral student. The scholarship can be renewed for one year in both degree programs creating the potential for four years of support. All scholarship applications must be received prior to April 1, and awards are made during the spring term. Some assistantships and fellowships are granted on a University-wide competitive basis.
