Students will be assigned to work in areas supporting the mission of the School of Informatics.

Students applying for admission to the program should complete the financial aid form if they wish to be considered for a Graduate Assistantship.

Fellowships and Scholarships

Although the majority of financial aid is in the form of assistantships, a limited number of fellowships and scholarships are also available. Those receiving fellowships and scholarships are not required to perform any duties in return for the stipend. These awards are also made solely on a merit basis.

Students applying for admission to the program are considered for fellowships and scholarships; there is no additional application to complete. Awards are normally granted for an academic year. The school is developing new sources of funding, and students are encouraged to review the informatics web site for up-to-date information or call the School of Informatics.
