These awards are applied directly to your tuition account, and eligible students must enroll in at least 9 credit hours per semester. This award is not applicable for summer semesters when all students pay resident tuition.

Scholarship Overview A number of graduate fellowships are available each semester. Student awards are directly applied to fall and spring tuition bills in two equal payments.
