General Tuition Scholarship Information

The DGS is responsible for certifying to the Graduate School those eligible to receive tuition scholarships. Nonresident students who are classified as graduate assistants, who are reimbursed by departmental funds, and who are supervised by departmental faculty will be so certified. Other qualified students who hold cooperative work assistantships and who receive support directly through the department will also be certified. Graduate students on traineeships or other externally funded programs where funds are available to pay tuition are not eligible for tuition scholarships.

Current Graduate School policy generally excludes research assistants from those eligible to receive instate tuition scholarships. The grant/contract should provide increased stipends (or other funds) to nonresident research assistants to help defray the instate portion of tuition fees.
