Scholarships / Assistantships

For students who show scholarly promise, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering offer scholarships, fellowships, and research or teaching assistantships to full-time students in master's and doctoral programs. Certificate students are not eligible for these awards.

Tuition Scholarships are available in all master's and doctoral programs for qualified students.
Teaching Assistantships, offered by most departments, are positions for twenty hours a week of teaching-related activity.
Research Assistantships are generally available in the science and engineering areas.
Fellowships that require no service are offered by some departments to students who demonstrate outstanding records of achievement and a well-articulated plan of study.

How to Apply
To apply for tuition scholarships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships, mail the Tufts Financial Aid Application with your supplemental application materials.
