Funds are available for stipends which are awarded to Ph.D. students according to academic merit. Applicants must be regular, full-time students. The student must be registered for a minimum of 15 credit hours in courses or research on campus during a regular semester to be considered full-time for a Dean's tuition scholarship.

Ph.D. students receive stipend support from the College of Graduate Studies Dean’s office, mentor, training grants, or scholarships/fellowships. Stipends may be supplemented at the discretion of the student’s department or program. Graduate students may inquire about the availability of loans from the Office of Student Financial Aid Services.
