The English department offers two kinds of financial aid:
Graduate Assistantships
Each year the department awards a number of non-teaching assistantships to students in the MA in English Literature and Publishing and the MA in Writing and Publishing programs. Graduate assistants work as departmental assistants, consultants in the University Writing Center, or editorial assistants for the journal Poetry East. They receive a stipend and tuition waivers for up to six graduate courses during the year (up to 12 courses over two years if the award is renewed). Applications for assistantships are usually due on January 15.
Partial Tuition Scholarships
The department also awards a limited number of partial tuition scholarships to students in the MA in English Literature and Publishing and MA in Writing and Publishing programs. Deadlines for applying for a partial tuition waiver are announced each quarter; awards are based on the student's academic record and financial need.
