Funding is often near the top of graduate students’ list of needs. Students can get funding in a variety of ways, from research assistantships to stipends to fellowships, and more.
Costs & Fees
The cost of your graduate education depends on everything from tuition and books to cost of living. Visit the Graduate College and estimate your cost of attendance.
Graduate Assistantships
Most students in the Master of Science program receive financial aid through research or teaching assistantships. These positions cover basic living costs, and may also include full or partial tuition and health insurance (excludes dental and vision). All applicants who submit by the February 1 priority deadline are automatically considered for assistantships — no separate application is needed.
Scholarships & Other Funding Opportunities
Scholarships from within this department are available for academically qualified students. Students who are not awarded a teaching assistantship may be employed to aid in research work and hold part-time jobs in other departments or organizations outside the university.
Students may also seek other university internal scholarships by submitting a Scholarship Universe application each year for the future academic year. The annual deadline is April 1. Visit the College of Agriculture, Life & Environmental Science to learn more about applying for scholarships.
