Graduate students in the College are normally funded
for their first years of graduate study by a mix of
University Fellowships, Graduate (normally teaching)
Assistantships and, in the Social and Laboratory Sciences,
Research Assistantships (funded by research grants).
The details of aid vary from Program to Program and
are spelled out in the initial offer letter.
Summer
Research Fellowships are available to students
in some departments. Students should apply through
their departments, which will then send their nominations
on to the Dean's office for approval. Most Departments
expect a short written proposal for summer research.
The Departmental
nomination form must reach the Dean's
office by March 21, 2008. In addition to the application,
a WCAS
Acceptance Form signed by the student
is required at the time the award is accepted and
a Departmental
Summary of Accomplishments Report
is required from Departments at the end of the
summer.
The Departmental or Graduate Administrator for your
Program is your first contact for questions regarding
funding.
