Financial Aid

Associateships and Fellowships include remission of graduate tuition and fees, plus a stipend ranging from $1,625 - $1,800 per month.

Associateships require approximately 20 hours per week in service to the department and allow a student to pursue approximately two thirds of a full-time academic schedule.

Fellowships require no service and allow a student to pursue a full-time academic schedule. Fellowships include summer support. Students with Teaching Associateships are offered summer support, subject to availability.

Numerous Teaching and Research Associateships are provided each year by the department and, normally, TA offers are made only for Autumn Quarter.

Applicants to the graduate program who wish to be considered for an Associateship or Fellowship should indicate this in the appropriate section of the application form.

Students whose native language is not English must demonstrate proficiency in spoken English. Without such a demonstration, students reduce their chances of getting Associateships and the awards are smaller.
