Graduate Study
Scholarship Policies
- Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence to students matriculated in a degree granting program. They are usually awarded for an academic year.
- No work can be required as a condition of receiving a graduate scholarship.
- Graduate students who receive a graduate scholarship may concurrently hold a graduate teaching, lab or research assistantship in any RIT college.
- Scholarships are generally awarded to full-time students. However, in some instances, they are offered to well-qualified part-time students.
- Current recipients of an RIT graduate scholarship (or students who have not yet received scholarship assistance but who have a completed application on file) may apply for consideration in subsequent quarters by submitting a written request to their academic department indicating their name, program, the quarter or quarters for which a scholarship is being sought, and their continuing interest in receiving scholarship assistance.
- Students who are receiving full or partial RIT tuition waivers are not eligible for graduate scholarships.
- Applicants are encouraged to contact the departmental graduate coordinator for their intended academic program.
