Departmental Financial Aid

The Department of English awards a wide variety of financial aid based on academic merit. Recipients of awards should familiarize themselves with the Financial Aid Policies available from the Graduate School. Students receiving Graduate Assistant stipends through the Department must carry a full-time load (12 credits or more) each quarter, exclusive of audit and/or undergraduate credits. As full-time students, all employment must be approved by the Graduate Director.

University Graduate Scholarships

A University Graduate Scholarship (UGS) award grants a full or substantial waiver of tuition, with no cash stipend, and is awarded competitively to graduate students who demonstrate academic excellence. It has no work requirement but does require students to be matriculated into a degree-granting program. Continuation of the award into the next academic year is based on satisfactory performance during the initial award and availability of funds.
