Applications for teaching assistantships, scholarships or other financial aid for the following academic year should also be received by Feb. 15. Applications for aid arriving after Feb. 15 will be given consideration if assistantships and scholarships are still available. All U.S. citizens and permanent residents applying for any kind of financial assistance must submit the FAFSA.
Applicants who are not U.S. citizens or official permanent residents are not eligible for federal/state loans or work-study positions. Because teaching assistants in our department assist in writing courses, these positions are not usually awarded to those for whom English is a second language, unless the verbal GRE score and TOEFL scores are superior.
