Financing Graduate Education
Tuition and Fees
Tuition rates for all students, undergraduates and graduate students, are available from our Tuition and Fees Schedule. Of course, tuition is only part of the cost of graduate education. To help students calculate costs, see our ECOA (Estimated Cost of Attendance) information for graduate students which offers complete cost estimates includng tuition, fees, room and board, books, supplies and tablet PC rental.
Financial Aid and Student Loans
Many graduate students are eligible
for financial aid and student loans. Visit our Financial Aid and Scholarships section for more information.
Assistantships and Fellowships
In addition, all Graduate School applicants are automatically considered for teaching assistantships. Departments, programs or individual researchers having funding seek students to work on their projects. We encourage students applying to include their need and experience in their Statement of Purpose document (required for most graduate students as part of the application process). Financial awards are primarily granted to students starting in the fall. Graduate students wishing to be considered for financial assistance should submit their application by March 15. Information on financial support for specific programs are available on the Graduate Education Programs of Study pages. Graduate students may also explore research fellowships to help support the cost of their education.
Annually, the Office of Graduate Education extends the call to faculty to nominate students for various fellowships for the following academic year. The material is usually due in early February.
