Graduate Funding
Tuition and fees
The Office of the Registrar includes detailed information about tuition rates and fees, including how the rates are determined and rates by academic year.
Graduate Funding
Submitting the application for admission places you in the candidate pool for consideration for all fellowships administered by the Graduate College, along with fellowships and assistantships offered within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The application includes basic information about you as a candidate, your personal statement, three letters of reference, and transcripts.
With regard to CEE funding, the number of applicants far exceeds the amount of funding that we have available. Only the most talented applicants who match the research needs of our professors receive funding from CEE. The selection process is difficult and we are able to give funding to only a small number of applicants.
A list of graduate fellowships awarded by CEE is available here.
External Fellowships
For information about external fellowships, please see the Graduate College's External Fellowship information and Database.
