Financial Assistance
Graduate AssistantshipsStudents may compete for a limited number of graduate assistantship appointments. Assistantships are awarded solely on the basis of merit. These appointments constitute the most common type of financial assistance offered through the School of Informatics. Graduate assistantships include a stipend and a fee scholarship. 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. GRE scores are required if applying for financial support from the school.
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 the first year. The second year of support will require research or teaching. 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.
