Financial Aid
All graduate students in good academic standing receive two years of guaranteed of financial support toward the M.A. degree and an additional four years of support toward completion of the Ph.D.
Teaching Assistantships are the most common form of graduate student support at Illinois. The usual appointment requires teaching three courses during the academic year.
Research Assistantships require the recipient to assist with a faculty member's research for a specific number of hours per week. A research assistantship may be combined with a teaching assistantship. Research assistantships are not normally available to first-year graduate students.
Tuition and Fee Waivers are included in all fellowship, teaching assistantship, and research assistantship awards.
