Graduate Aid Information and Index
In addition to the Graduate Grant, graduate students may apply for Federal Direct Stafford Loans, Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, and most work programs.
Graduate students pursuing master's or doctoral degrees can also apply for fellowships, assistantships, and other awards, offered through individual colleges and the Graduate School. For these awards, students should apply through the dean's office of their college or department and check on their application deadlines.
Students applying for loans or work through SFA should understand that fellowships, fee waivers, and health insurance benefits must be included in aid packages. Students who accept an assistantship, fellowship or traineeship must receive Graduate School approval before accepting other employment.
You are responsible for notifying SFA of all assistance you receive from any source. Receiving fellowships or fee waivers affects eligibility for aid through SFA.
Contact the Graduate School for more information about graduate aid. The Office of Research, Technology, and Graduate Education in 256 Grinter Hall maintains a comprehensive list of private and outside scholarships and fellowships.
Information is also available on UF’s Graduate Fellowship Initiative page.
For fellowship or assistantship applications, applications for admission, and application deadlines, write to the chairperson of your department.
