The university offers a number of different fellowships and assistantships to full-time graduate students. Awards are made upon the recommendation of the applicant's discipline.
Stipends vary according to the amount of work required and the experience of the student.
Tuition scholarship awards of up to nine credit hours remission of tuition per semester will be based on academic achievement. Students awarded financial assistance must be enrolled in at least nine hours, but not more than 12 hours, of graduate work during a regular semester. The enrollment requirement during summer is at least one hour, but not more than six hours for financial assistance during the summer session. Special permission is required to deviate from these hours except in the last two semesters of enrollment before the completion of a master's degree or in the last four semesters before the completion of a doctoral degree. Any employment in addition to the assistantship is specifically prohibited.
