These include teaching and research assistantships, fellowships, fee scholarships, hourly wages and loans. Financial support is not guaranteed with admission to a graduate program, but the School of Education has an excellent record of supporting graduate students. Generally, preference is given to doctoral students over master's students, in awarding assistantships, fee scholarships and fellowships. Nearly all domestic doctoral students who request it receive financial support in one or more of the categories listed above.
Some international students receive financial support as well.
In recent years, budgets have been extremely tight, and some commitments for financial support to fall matriculants have not been made until July or August.
