Financial Aid
Merit-based awards are provided by the academic department during the admission process, while federal and private loan funding can be obtained through the Financial Aid Office.
The application required for federal student loans is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students who have completed their application materials will be reviewed for aid eligibility. Eligibility is determined based upon planned enrollment.
Please contact the Financial Aid Office at (800) 881-8234 or visit its website for additional details on loans and contact information for staff members.
Fellowships
In addition to financial aid, graduate students may be eligible for University or external fellowships. See our fellowship page for more information.
External Work Policy
Full-time students holding fellowships, assistantships, or scholarships may not accept other full-time employment.
