Financial Support
Graduate students may obtain financial support from several sources.
- The University of Cincinnati provides merit-based graduate awards in the form of tuition scholarships (known as Graduate Incentive Awards (GIA) and Graduate Assistant Scholarships (GAS)), as well as stipend awards (graduate assistantships including teaching and research assistantships), and program-specific scholarships and fellowships.
- Scholarship and fellowship support is also available from a diverse collection of external sponsors at the local, state, national, and international levels. Programs and colleges may have additional sources of support through grants and endowed funds
- Need-based support may be obtained from federal and state sources.Â
Financial support from each of these sources is described in this section.
