The Economics Graduate Program supports the study of qualified doctoral students in the form of teaching assistantships, research assistantships and, occaisionally, fellowships. We do not offer funding to master's students. Awards are merit-based, determined by an applicant's academic history and predicted success in the program.
US CITIZENS
Financial aid may be available on a limited basis. Long-term, low-interest federal loans including the Federal Perkins Loan and Federal Stafford Loans may be obtained. For more information and application materials, visit the Office of Financial Aid.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
International students are required to show ability to meet the financial requirements of tuition, fees and living expenses for themselves and any dependent family members during the proposed duration of study (3 years for a masters degree, 5 years for a doctoral degree). International students
should visit the Office of International Services website for complete information regarding estimated living expenses and required proof of financial responsibility.
