Graduate or Teaching Assistantships/Fellowships
Offers of graduate assistantships are made by individual professors. Individual professors will review each application package, and will make a decision on whether or not to offer an assistantship, depending on the availability of research funds, needs of the professors and the qualifications of the applicant. Students are also encouraged to seek outside fellowships that are offered through various professional organizations or state and federal agencies. A student must submit an application for assistantship/fellowship in order to be considered for this type of funding. The application should be sent directly to the department if a student is interested in receiving this type of funding.
Students are encouraged to seek external funding from various federal, state & local agencies as well as private industry & non-profit organizations.
