Financial assistance is a vital element in attracting quality students to graduate programs. Often the selection of one university over another comes down to which university makes the first offer to a student or makes the best offer by providing the highest level of support. Graduate students may receive financial assistance from tuition payments, tuition waivers, fellowships, loans, or assistantships.

Students must be degree-seeking and enrolled full-time to be eligible for fellowships, assistantships, and tuition remission.
