The amount of financial assistance from the Department ranges from $1000 to $11000 and can be higher if students are supported on a grant (currently up to $18,000). Students who are supported with a scholarship or a 1/2-time ssistantship pay in-state tuition rates. Students can apply for financial assistance with their application.
