Graduate Student Financial Aid

Dollars and Sense

Every major research university across the country aggressively recruits academically gifted graduate students. The Case School of Engineering is no exception. Prospective students may apply for a number of fellowship opportunities, including:

• National Science Foundation (NSF) Fellowships
  
• National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowships
  
• NASA Graduate Student Research Program (GSRP)
  
• Ohio Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) Scholarships and Fellowships

Fellowships are coordinated through the individual departments at the school, and many of these awards are available only to United States citizens.

For more information on any of these programs, contact the individual departments.

Other Funding Opportunities

While the majority of Case School of Engineering graduate students receive some form of financial support, it is important to be aware of the other expenses you may incur during the course of your program: room and board, for instance, in addition to whatever tuition expenses you may have.

Students not receiving fellowships may be eligible for research assistant (RA) positions working on specific research projects for individual professors. A research assistantship typically pays a stipend and provides a tuition waiver, but this depends upon the funds available from the research grant or contract of the faculty member. Individual departments also may hire students on an hourly basis to grade papers, teach recitation sections or serve as lab assistants.

For more information about available RA or other opportunities in your area of interest, please contact the individual departments.
