Financial Assistance

Teaching and research assistantships and fellowships are available to outstanding students on a competitive basis. A few assistantships are awarded by the American Studies Program but assigned to other university departments. Additional assistantships are available directly from other departments on campus.  The deadline for most assistantships in the College of Arts and Letters is mid-February of each year.  A nine credit tuition waiver per semester accompanies both quarter-time and half-time assistantships. University fellowships vary in type and size and specific information is available upon request from the Office of Scholarships and Admissions. Fellowship application deadlines vary throughout the course of the year.  All financial assistance offers are made at the same time as an offer of admission.
