How likely is it to receive financial aid, a graduate assistantship, tuition remission or a scholarship/fellowship?
A very limited number of partial graduate assistantships is offered on an annual basis. This award includes a small stipend, tuition remission, and health benefits. Tuition remission alone is also possible, but very limited. Governmental financial aid is available to American citizens only. To receive aid, the deadline to submit the application form to the Financial Aid Office, located in the Albert Kuhn Library on the UMBC campus, (ex. 2387), is March 1st of the year in which one wishes to receive aid. The aid is given for one academic year, beginning in the fall semester. The amount of aid per student varies, depending on his/her degree of financial need. Scholarship/fellowship information is available on the World Wide Web and at the UMBC and public libraries. International students are encouraged to visit the website of the National Association of Foreign Student Advisors for scholarship/fellowship information. Also, see the section on Financial Assistance on the program website.
