Financial Aid
Graduate fellowships can be awarded to highly-qualified full-time students and are generally given for one academic year. There is no separate application for the fellowships but all applicants are encouraged to submit their applications by the priority deadline to have the best opportunity for fellowship review. There are also employment positions available within the program that students can apply for as those openings come up in late summer. The positions are usually ten hours per week during the academic year and position announcements are sent to current and incoming students as applicable. In addition, loans and work-study opportunities may be available for U.S. students and permanent residents.
