Scholarships and other
financial awards based primarily on academics
and achievement are available to graduate students
from two main sources--the Graduate School and
the individual university colleges, schools, and
departments. Graduate students should explore
opportunities available from both areas.
Graduate students who
apply for other assistance (loans and work) through
the Office for Student Financial Affairs (SFA)
are advised that receiving fellowships or fee
waivers affects eligibility for most SFA-awarded
aid. Students applying for aid through SFA must
notify us of all assistance they receive from
such sources.
