Financial Aid for Graduate Students

Graduate research assistantships typically support qualified Ph.D. students. Graduate fellowships are available on a competitive basis to both entering and continuing Ph.D. students. Typically only those Ph.D. students who enter the program in the Fall semester are eligible for fellowships.

We are unable to provide financial support to students in our masters degree program, or to students in the M.Eng or Certificate programs.
