Graduate Funding

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.

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.
