Graduate Scholarships

In addition to graduate teaching assistantships (GTAs) and graduate research assistantships (GRAs), we offer several scholarships to our current graduate students and some limited for undergraduate seniors. Announcements are shared with the students once a year and the scholarships are awarded at our annual departmental event in April. Announcements are shared either at the end of the fall or early spring semester. Deadline is typically at least 1-2 weeks after the announcement is made. Applicants will submit their resume, a personal statement and recommendation letters. Sometimes additional materials may also be requested.

This list is subject to change. In addition to the scholarships mentioned below, new scholarships could be available if donors wish to contribute to Communication Sciences and Disorders scholarship funds. Each year, procedures and scholarship applications are made available to all eligible students by the Communication Sciences and Disorders Honors and Awards Committee Chairman.
