How can I obtain a tuition waiver so as to lessen my costs for attending graduate school?
The only way to get tuition waiver is to be a recipient of an assistantship (or fellowship or wage-payroll position with the department). Thus, you need to apply for and receive an assistantship to obtain a tuition waiver. Unfortunately, we have limited Departmental assistantships available and we have many very good applicants. Thus, obtaining a Departmental assistantship with a tuition waiver is quite competitive. You may also contact faculty members in your interest area directly to see if they have any contract funding that is available to support students. This changes on a continuing basis, depending on faculty success in obtaining project funding.
