Financial Aid

The UGA Graduate School offers these financial aid options

  • Graduate Assistantships
    Assistantships requires that students work approximately ten hours per week under the faculty member. Past assistantships with faculty members have included research opportunities and positions with the Coca-Cola Center (webmaster, newsletter editor).
    [How are these awarded? Are they merit-based? Are these awarded upon acceptance to the program? Do you need to apply for these, or are you automatically considered? —Derek]
  • Out-of-State Tuition Waivers
    Non-resident admitted students can seek to have a portion of their tuition waived for one academic year. These awards are based upon academic records and recommendation of the department. Candidates must have a 3.30 undergraduate GPA or a 3.50 graduate GPA and 550 GMAT and plan to be enrolled for a minimum of 12 hours each semester to be eligible for nomination. Decisions are typically made in late March/early April. [This does not match what is on the UGA Grad School website--Kalena]
