GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
When you study
physics (or other science and engineering fields) in graduate school, you will likely
not have to pay tuition and fees.
Many times you are hired to be a teaching assistant or research
assistant. The money that you earn
is enough to cover your tuition and fees and housing and living expenses.
However, there are several graduate fellowships that are available to support
your graduate study. These grants
typically provide more financial support.
Please talk with your advisor to see if you would be a competitive
applicant for a fellowship.
