Funding Opportunities
Graduate Students admitted to the ESE program may pursue financial support through fellowships offered by The Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars (OGSPS), grants, teaching assistantships from their home department, and/or research assistantships from grants received by their major professor. A funding overview can be found through the OGSPS. There are several types of funding available, such as assistantships, fellowships, grants, scholarships, and loans/financial aid. Students choosing to pursue a Masters Non-Thesis are responsible for their own tuition and fees.
Fellowship and Assistantship Opportunities
Fellowships are available through the University and are awarded based on academic merit. At Purdue there are some fellowships managed by OGSPS and all qualified students are encouraged to apply. There are additional fellowships awarded by faculty based upon the student's admissions application.
Assistantship positions are highly competitive. Once accepted into the ESE program, faculty members will contact you directly regarding any assistantship positions.
Outside Fellowships are also an option for funding. Students are encourage to seek out opportunities they qualify for and apply as they meet eligibility.
