Tuition and fees, room and board, books, supplies, transportation, personal expenses - all must be financed by the graduate student's budget.

It comes as no surprise, then, that most students need help in meeting the numerous costs of graduate education. Sources of support for graduate study include state and federal government, private foundations, individual universities and faculty members, and research grants.

Types of support available include grants, fellowships and scholarships, loans and work-study programs. Grants, fellowships and scholarships may provide the cost of tuition and fees, plus a stipend to cover living expenses.

Other forms of aid, such as the federal work-study program, require students to provide some type of service while enrolled in a graduate program. Loans generally are based on an assessment of need and must be repaid.

Institutional grants and scholarships typically are awarded to full-time students.

Full-time enrollment is defined as nine(9) credits for graduate students;

  • Graduate students must carry more than four credit hours in graduate level courses in order to receive a loan.
  • Graduate students who are taking undergraduate courses are ineligible for a loan.
  • In addition, Woodland Ellroy Hall Assistantships provides support to students who have excelled academically.
