Approximately 75 of our current graduate students receive financial support from the Computer Science Department. Another 40 work in other on-campus jobs. Those working in teaching, research or graduate assistant positions are eligible to receive a monthly stipend, an out-of-state tuition waiver, a tuition fellowship, and health insurance benefits.
Financial support for master’s students is limited and you should not plan on joining our program if financial support is essential. Master’s students who excel in our program have a good chance of obtaining financial support in later semesters.
Ph.D. students receive preference when granting financial aid.
Teaching Assistantships
The application materials of incoming students that have indicated
interest in an assistantship position will be used for the basis of the
award. Awards are made at the time of admission. Currently enrolled
students with excellent academic records are given preference over
incoming students for teaching assistantships.
Research Assistantships
Research assistantships are granted by individual professors and are
generally offered to current students. Students are free to contact
faculty members, but are discouraged from doing so until admission has
been granted.
Fellowships/Scholarships
All successful applicants to the graduate program are considered for
offers of limited, competitive scholarships. Awards are made at the
time of admission. Applicants are encouraged to apply for other
national or international awards such as Hertz, NSF, and NDSEG.
