ADMISSIONS
The Graduate School's (TGS) admission process typically begins in early October when the online application becomes available. WCAS requests that drafts of all offer letters be approved by the Associate Dean's office before being sent to prospective students.

FINANCIAL AID
Graduate Student Funding
Graduate students are, in most cases, primarily funded by University Fellowships (UF) and Graduate Assistantships (GA) from The Graduate School. Program administrators will enter their department's UF and GA appointments into the Student Enterprise System (CAESAR), as well as any grants not administered by WCAS or The Graduate School.

Internal TGS Fellowships and Grants
The Graduate School also offers competitive fellowships and grants to help support graduate student research, conference travel, and advanced study. Many of these fellowships require program administrators to electronically submit students' application materials to TGS.
