FINANCIAL SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE
for eligible students in a number of ways:
Fellowships. The Department offers this aid to assist students in meeting
tuition and living expenses.
Research Opportunities. Research Assistantships are available to graduate
students through sponsored research projects. Incoming graduate students should
contact faculty directly to inquire. Research assistants may also earn graduate
credits for their work by enrolling in ME 590, 595, 695, 990, or 995.
Teaching Assistantships. The Department awards a number of teaching
assistantships (TAs) in laboratory and undergraduate courses to well-qualified
graduate students. Incoming students are automatically considered with their
completed application and required documents. Foreign students must pass the
English Language Institute test for non-native English-speaking students before
a TA is granted. |
