Fellowships, Grants, and Loans by Application
Dean's Tuition Scholarships
Dean's Tuition Scholarships are awarded by the Arts and Sciences Office of Graduate Studies to returning graduate students who demonstrate academic achievement and financial need. TA/TFs, GSA/GSRs, and students with provisional or special graduate status are not eligible for these funds. Application forms are available here or can be obtained from departmental graduate secretaries or from 5141 Sennott Square. Completed applications should be sent to the Arts and Sciences Office of Graduate Studies in 5141 Sennott Square. The deadline for fall term 2009 (term code 2101) is August 7, 2009.
Federal Work Study
The TA/TF/GSA Federal Work Study Program provides funds to enable the University to recover part of the stipends paid to some TA/TF/GSAs who are 'eligible' under the federal guidelines. 'Eligibility' does not affect the student's current duties, future support, or financial status. The funds recovered for eligible students are used in two ways: (1) to support Arts and Sciences programs that benefit graduate students generally, and (2) to provide supplemental support directly to the eligible student.
Students found eligible receive $500 for travel or research related expenses during the next fiscal year.
Who may apply: TA/TF/GSAs with U.S. citizenship or permanent alien residence.
Requirements: Fill out the FAFSA and FAAS, which are available through the Office of Financial Aid Web site, and contact David Carmen at 412-624-6094 to let him know you would like to apply.
All domestic students who apply (even if they are found ineligible) will receive a $50 Book Center certificate.
