Graduate Employee Positions

A significant number of students in the graduate program are awarded a Graduate Employee (GE) position, which includes a tuition waiver and monthly stipend. Returning students are given priority, however all incoming graduate students are eligible to apply for GEs.

Possible GE assignments include:

  • instruction in a studio course
  • instruction in a lab tied to a lecture course
  • assistance in large lecture courses

Visit the School of Art + Design current students blog for additional GE information and forms.

You may read the General Duties and Responsibilities Statement (GDRS) on the Graduate School website.

International applicants should visit the Graduate School International Applicants page.


Scholarships and Awards

Scholarships in the College of Design are open for application by students who are enrolled in majors within any of our disciplines. A select number of scholarships within certain disciplines are available for application by students who are applying for admission to a Design program.

The more than 110 scholarships in our college have been made possible by donations from private parties, both individuals and business organizations. Many are provided by alumni who have been moved to give back, and who want to be part of helping to support students today as they earn their own degrees.

Check with the office staff in your school and with College of Design Student Services to learn more about what scholarships are currently available.
