Funding Opportunities

The Department is committed to seeking opportunities that will allow it to provide financial support to its students. Most eligible accepted applicants will automatically be considered for School scholarship support. Departmental scholarship decisions are made during the admissions process and communicated to students in their letters of acceptance.
