Academic Departments and the Graduate School
The Graduate School and academic departments offer a variety of merit-based programs including grants, fellowships, research and teaching assistantships, from outside agencies. If you wish to be considered for these, contact your department. If you receive federal financial aid and a tuition waiver as part of a graduate assistantship or research assistantship, your tuition waiver will be considered financial aid and listed in your financial aid offer.
