Teaching and Research Assistantships are awarded competitively to graduate applicants.  Students are encouraged to submit application materials by February 1 in order to be considered for an assistantship for the fall semester.  Later applications are accepted, but assistantships may be unavailable to these applicants. Assistantship positions are for the nine-month academic year.  Currently, an assistantship pays $1,239.50/month for MS students and $1,279.50/month for PhD students.  Non-resident students with assistantships also receive a non-resident tuition waiver.  Limited fee waivers are available to the majority of full-time graduate students who are eligible.  Additional forms of financial assistance include: student loans, Dean's Tuition Waivers, Minority Incentive Tuition Waivers, Presidential Fellowships, Spouse Tuition Waivers, Social Justice Tuition Waivers, and Academic Non-resident Tuition Waivers.
