Graduate Studies Fellowships
FELLOWSHIPS
A number of research assistantships are available to graduate students.
These are competitive grants and may include tuition/fees waiver;
tuition/fees waiver plus stipend of up to $18,000; or stipend only.
Generally, the review committees in the various programs determine
eligibility based on factors including grade point average. The
assistantship is a 12-month award that allows the student to take up to 24
credit hours per year. It also requires the student to meet the specific
departmental and university requirements on academic and assistantship
responsibilities to maintain eligibility during the year and to request for
renewal.
A number of teaching assistantships and tuition assistance fellowships
are available also. A research stipend of $250.00 is also available to
students who are about to conduct research for their dissertation or thesis.
To receive fellowships or tuition grants in any program, students must be
enrolled for a minimum of nine credit hours.
Students may also be nominated for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation
Graduate Scholarship. The Foundation seeks to identify students who are
excelling academically and in other activities and have significant unmet
financial need.
Please contact Rowena G. Wilson, the Foundation’s
representative at Norfolk State University, at
rgwilson@nsu.edu or visit the
website at
www.jackkentcookefoundation.org for further information.
Graduate students may also apply for a limited number of graduate
assistantships in Residential Life. The assistantship covers room and
board, and offers a stipend of approximately $10,300 for service as a
graduate assistant in the dormitory. Applications are available from the
office of Residential Life.
Other awards are available in departments that make allocation from grant
funding. Applicants should contact the department to find out what might be
available.
