Graduate School Fellowships for Incoming Students
Departmental Awards
School-wide Awards (incoming and continuing)
Foreign Language and Area Studies Awards
Teaching Assistantships
Research Assistantships
Tuition Remission (for out-of-state residents)
Federal Student Loans
Applying for NC residency for tuition purposes
Travel Awards
Graduate School Fellowships and Awards for Continuing Students

We encourage all applicants and current students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 1st.

All applications submitted by the priority deadline, December 13th 2011, will be considered for Graduate School merit awards. There is no separate application for these awards.

Department-based aid and other research and teaching assistantships will be available after an admitted applicant has accepted our offer of admission. We will have more information about these awards and assistantships at Admitted Students Day in March 2012.
