We do offer the Gupta Scholarship, which reduces the per credit hour tuition rate from $1,250 per credit hour to $1,000 per credit hour. All admitted students will be reviewed for this scholarship with each incoming term. Many are considered for the scholarship; however, few are selected. There is not a separate application process. To learn more about this opportunity please visit the scholarships page. For information on external scholarships for graduate students please visit the graduate scholarship information page on the website.

Graduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are able to apply for federal financial aid. You would apply for financial aid by submitting a FAFSA. Once our Office of Financial Aid receives the FAFSA (after a student is admitted), they will put together a financial aid package that includes any grants and loans for which the student qualifies.

Graduate students are allowed to work on campus and on-campus employment opportunities are posted regularly for both domestic student jobs and international student jobs.
