How to Finance Your Graduate Education
What is available at the School of Mines?
Many graduate students are eligible for financial aid and student loans.
In addition, all Graduate School applicants are automatically considered for teaching assistantships. We encourage students applying to include their need and experience in the Statement of Purpose. Additionally, applicants wanting to receive research assistantships are encouraged to include their need and area of research interest and experience in the Statement of Purpose. Departments, programs or individual researchers having funding seek students to work on their projects. The Office of Graduate Education processes assistantships and fellowships.
Information on financial support for specific programs are available on the Programs of Study pages.
Annually, the Office of Graduate Education extends the call to faculty to nominate students for various fellowships for the following academic year. The material is usually due in early February.
