Assistantship Information

Financial aid in the form of research assistantships or fellowships is typically available for all full-time US students who apply early. Either the TECS department funds them through assistantships or the Institute of Textile Technology funds students through their fellowship program. International students who seek funding must acquire this through individual faculty members who have research projects that require a graduate student. While international students can typically find support by their second semester, they should be prepared to cover all expenses for the first semester or so.
