Financial Aid
The School makes every effort to support graduate students who are making satisfactory progress towards their degree objectives. Financial support is generally available in the form of a Graduate Assistantship, which covers tution, fees, health insurance, and provides a competitive stipend. Decisions about financial aid are made simultaneously with an offer of admission. Prospective students are also encouraged to explore all sources of aid available when considering means of financing their graduate education. Outstanding students should explore fellowships awarded nationally on a competitive basis, such as those from the National Science Foundation, or GEM. In addition, the School may nominate exceptional candidates for Fellowships from the following donors:
• McLain Foundation
• R.E.B. Foundation
• Frank S. Dennis Endowment
• James P. Harris Endowment
• Frederick Holloway Endowment
• Thomas J. Malone Endowment
• Robert "Bud" Moeller Endowment
• James & Sheila Pirkle Endowment
• James Simmons Endowment
• James A. Russell Endowment
• David I. Wang Endowment
