Information
Tuition waivers for graduate students are available through several mechanisms. However, waivers are limited and can be highly competitive with specified criteria as described under each waiver tab. Students are encouraged to make a financial plan to pay for graduate school which may include federal student loans, institutional aid and/or external funding. Paying for College Tips and our Cost Calculator are helpful planning resources. We strongly recommend contacting the Office of Financial Aid for additional information.
