Financial aid is available to PhD students in the form of teaching and
research assistantships. These allow students to provide support for faculty
either in teaching a class or in conducting research, while receiving a stipend
and tuition waiver in return. Aid is only rarely available for Masters
students. Grading positions are sometimes available to Masters students on
a semester-by-semester basis.
A PhD student's application for financial support should be included with
the application for admission.
Stipend
Assistantships provide three levels of stipends:
- Level 1
-
For all students working towards their Masters or who have an
MS in another subject.
- Level 2
-
For all students with an MS in Computer Science and for PhD students
who have completed 30 or more credit hours of graduate work.
- Level 3
-
For all students who are post-comprehensive PhD.
Tuition Waivers
Both teaching assistants and research assistants will receive resident tuition
waivers of 3, 6, or 10 hours depending upon the percent of time they are
appointed.
Students offered assistantships who are U.S. citizens but not residents of
Colorado are urged to apply for resident status as soon as possible.
Non-resident tuition waivers are not normally available to such students
after their first year.
Conditions
Holders of assistantships are expected to complete at least 15 hours of
graduate course work, or be engaged in appropriate research, during each
academic year and must be full-time students as defined by the Graduate School
in terms of degree status and good standing.
Such support is contingent upon satisfactory
performance and the availability of funds.
