Funding Your Education
There are several ways to lower the cost of graduate education.
1. Instructional Assistantships
There are a limited number of Instructional Assistant (IA) positions for full-time students (9 hours per semester). IAs typically assist the instructor of record in the large sections of Philosophy & Critical Reasoning and Ethics & Society. These positions pay enough to cover tuition, fees, and some living expenses. Given satisfactory performance, IA positions are usually renewed. Apply now.
2. Departmental Scholarships
The Department offers two scholarships for which graduate students are eligible: the Victor Holk Scholarship ($1000) and the Treanor Scholarship ($1000).
