The University Graduate Scholarship affords newly admitted graduate students in either a master's or doctoral program to be considered for upwards of several thousands of dollars toward their first year of study. Criteria for consideration include a prior grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and demonstrated financial need. In addition, the Dean's Graduate Scholarship and a variety of endowed scholarships offer prospective students additional and lucrative opportunities for financial assistance.

In exchange, Graduate Assistants must work 20 hours per week and maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or better. Ordinarily, assistantships are automatically renewed for a second year provided both the student and supervisor are satisfied with the arrangements.
