  • International Students and Financial Aid -
    International applicants often ask about financial aid. We regret that neither the college nor the university has financial assistance for international applicants.

    There is a very limited number of graduate research assistantships, but the amount of the stipend is not enough to cover all expenses. Also, because the assistantships depend on funding which is not guaranteed, they cannot be counted toward the minimum financial resources required for issuing a Form I-20; they are awarded on a competitive basis after admission has been granted.
