Graduate Scholarships & Assistantships

Graduate Assistantships and/or Tuition Scholarships are only available to students who are working full-time towards a graduate degree. Part-time students or students working towards an Artist’s Diploma are not eligible.

There are two different types of support available: a) The Graduate Tuition Scholarship and b) The Graduate Assistant Stipend. A student may receive one or both of these awards. A student may receive a full or half award.

The Graduate Tuition Scholarship is an award which pays for all or one-half of a students’ tuition. It does not cover any non-tuition expenses such as university fees or the cost of books. Students who receive only the Graduate Tuition Scholarship are not required to perform any services or work assignments as a condition of their scholarship.

The Graduate Assistant Stipend, when awarded in full, requires the student to work assignments as a condition of their scholarship. The Graduate Assistant Stipend, when awarded, requires the student to work 15-20 hours a week. When a half Stipend is awarded, the work requirement is 8-10 hours per week.

The applicant must complete all items on the Application for Graduate Tuition Scholarship form and/or the Application for Graduate Assistant Stipend form available at http://www.grad.uni.edu/assistantships.
