Graduate Funding
Support Throughout Your Degree Program
CAEM graduate students often receive teaching and research assistantships that pay tuition and a stipend. A number of fellowships and scholarships are also available through the university and partner organizations to help you attain your educational goals.
GAANN Fellowships in Resilient Infrastructures
The UA Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics is recruiting applicants for a PhD fellowship program dedicated to training in areas critical to rebuilding the nation's infrastructures.
The fellowships, which include comprehensive mentoring, research and teaching activities, are sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education's Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need, or GAANN, program.
GAANN fellowships cover full tuition plus a stipend up to $34,000. U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible. The priority deadline for fall 2019 admission is Jan. 15, and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis through May 1.
For more information, interested applicants may reach out to the department at ceem@email.arizona.edu or directly contact faculty in their research areas of interest.
Teaching and Research Assistantships
Graduate teaching assistantships are awarded competitively to students who demonstrate outstanding potential upon entering the CAEM graduate program or to continuing graduate students making satisfactory progress toward their program objectives. Graduate research assistantships are awarded to students who aid CAEM faculty members with their research. Please contact individual faculty members to inquire about research assistantships, which are supported with funds from grants.
