We provide support for our academic community as we seek to have our work shaped by our society's challenges and work to devise solutions to real problems. Some of the offices housed under the OVPR include Research and Sponsored Programs, Research Integrity and Technology Transfer.
Financial Aid
Financial aids available for regular, full-time or part-time graduate students. Associate and non-degree graduate students are not eligible for Direct loans or Graduate Plus Loans, but may be eligible for alternative loans. Teaching assistantships(TA’s), research assistantships (RA’s), graduate assistantships(GA’s), fellowships, and scholarships are academic awards made by the University, by individual academic departments, and by the Dean’s Office. Several graduate assistantships related to a particular area of study can be obtained by applying to administrative offices.
