Financial Aid
Each year the Notre Dame University–Louaize Graduate Programs offer a number of
assistantships, scholarships, and fellowships based on academic
qualifications of applicants. These grants may cover all or a portion of
the cost of tuition. Assistantships and Fellowship awards usually
include both a tuition scholarship and a monthly stipend for services
provided to the student's academic department or program. The details of
such financial aid are the prerogative of the concerned Faculty
Graduate Committee.
Fellowships
University fellowships for entering graduate students are awarded on the
basis of scholastic excellence and adequate preparation for graduate
study as displayed by academic records and letters of recommendation.
University fellowships for continuing students are awarded on the basis
of the student's record since the start of the Graduate program. This
includes performance in relevant coursework and research or creative
activity, letters of recommendations from faculty members, and the
endorsement of the graduate advisor.
University fellowships are administered through the concerned Graduate Faculty and students are nominated by graduate advisors.
Assistantships
Graduate assistantships, including teaching, research, and academic positions, provide financial aid to outstanding students who offer valuable services to the University. To be eligible, students must maintain good academic standing and satisfactorily meet all graduation requirements. If you are interested in a Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) or Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA) position, please inquire about available opportunities within the Faculty to which you are applying.
