DEAN’S TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS
FOR THE KENNETH P. DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES GRADUATE STUDENTS

The Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences Graduate Office awards a very limited number of tuition scholarships. The primary criteria for such awards are financial need and academic achievement. Students with TA, TF, GSA, GSR,PROVISIONAL and SPECIAL graduate statusare not eligible for these funds. Receiving TA, TF, GSA or GSR support voids Dean’s Tuition Scholarship.Tuition scholarships cannot be provided for beginning students. Students who received this scholarship previously are ineligible to receive it again except under special circumstances discussed with Chandra Colaresi. Priority is given to students who have exhausted all university and personal resources and who are required to be registered in order to receive a degree from the Dietrich School. This is a TUITION-ONLY SCHOLARSHIP, and you are responsible for any other required fees.
