Dean's Fund for Excellence

Here in the Division of Graduate Studies, we work hard to ensure our students receive a variety of professional opportunities; from teaching experiences to in-the-field data collection. Nearly 60% of eligible students receive funding from our Division through assistantships and scholarships. Graduate assistants are an important part of every facet of our campus community.

We’re all about community in the Division of Graduate Studies. We hope to continue fostering camaraderie among our students through writing groups and other professional opportunities. These opportunities are possible with the help and support of our community, donors, and alums.

These funds provide scholarships and other necessary funds to enhance Graduate Education for years to come.
