Assistantships
A limited number of assistantships are available to highly qualified students. Historically, assistantships have been awarded to students to work ten hours per week in one of the academic programs as a research or teaching assistant or in the Florida MBA Programs Office as a graduate assistant.
Fellowships
UF awards a number of Graduate Fellowships to students who would make a positive impact on their academic field of study. See our “ General Graduate Aid” page. These scholarships provide tuition assistance and a significant annual stipend. Candidates must apply by the early application deadline so that a final admissions decision can be reached before the February 15 deadline for fellowship consideration. Outstanding students admitted after that date will be nominated to receive scholarship funds that remain undistributed. These fellowships are restricted to outstanding Ph.D. candidates
