Graduate School

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.
