The College of Arts and Sciences offers various forms of financial support to highly qualified graduate students pursuing degree programs in the College. The different types of funding support generally available are posted on the Graduate School Web site and all applicants are encouraged to consult these materials.
Within the College of Arts and Sciences, a significant number of graduate students are offered teaching or graduate assistantships, either through state-funded or grant-related opportunities. The stipends for these positions vary, generally from approximately $12,000 up to $22,000. Most assistantships will provide full tuition scholarships, currently valued annually at $6,900 for in-state residents and $10,920 for out of state residents. In addition, for exceptionally qualified students, the College of Arts and Sciences makes four additional types of awards, as outlined below.
Dean’s Scholarships and Fellowships:
Dean’s Fellowships are similar to Presidential Fellowships: they offer an assistantship (which carries a stipend in most cases of between $12,000 and $22,000 per year) and a fellowship stipend of $4,000. Dean’s Fellows are also awarded a full tuition scholarship for the duration of their award, which for doctoral students is four years.
College Fellowships:
College Fellowships are similar to Presidential and Dean’s Fellowship: they offer a full assistantship (which carries a stipend in most cases of between $12,000 and $22,000 per year) and a full tuition scholarship during the award period. In addition, College Fellows receive a fellowship stipend of up to $2,000 which is normally renewable for a maximum of four years.
