CU-Boulder administers various forms of financial assistance for graduate students: fellowships, traineeships, scholarships, research and teaching assistantships, and awards from outside agencies.
The Chancellor’s Graduate Fellowship Program, instituted in 1984–85, attracts outstanding students for graduate study at the University of Colorado. Selected students receive a stipend of $20,000 for two academic years and a full waiver of all tuition, fees, and insurance. Recipients must be entering master’s or doctoral degree students and be nominated by their department.
Additional fellowships are available from private sources. Fellowships, traineeships, and scholarships are also offered by some departments. Applications for financial support are due in the departments by the announced deadlines; most departments must receive applications by January 15.
For more about assistantships, see Financial Aid for Graduate Study. Information on other funding opportunities is available on the Graduate School website at www.colorado.edu/graduateschool.
