Graduate Financial Assistance

School of Education Assistantships
(EdD & PhD Degree Students)

Graduate assistantships offering tuition fellowships and financial stipends are available through the school. Assistantships offer a stipend, while tuition fellowships pay for 21 semester hours of coursework. Assistantships are limited in number, are available only to full-time EdD or PhD graduate students in the School of Education, and are awarded on a competitive basis. In addition, the university also sponsors fellowships, teaching fellowships and dissertation fellowships for doctoral students. The latter two fellowships are available only to advanced graduate students.

Applying for Departmental Assistantships

Awardees are chosen from among applicants for admission and no additional application material is required.  Admission does not guarantee funding. Unless otherwise noted, the deadline for consideration for merit awards is February 1 or earlier if the department requires.
