Fellowships and Scholarships

Fellowship and Graduate Assistantships

The Department of Accountancy awards merit-based graduate assistantships to its strongest admitted students.

  • The C. Rollin Niswonger Fellowship provides a waiver of all tuition and fees plus an annual stipend of approximately $6,000; no duties are required.
  • Graduate assistantships cover 93% of the comprehensive fee; you will earn a monthly stipend of approximately $500. Students awarded these assistantships work 10 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters, most often assisting Farmer School faculty in non-teaching roles.
  • Partial graduate assistantships cover 25-50% of the comprehensive fee; you will earn a monthly stipend of approximately $125-$250. Students awarded these assistantships work 3 to 5 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters, most often assisting Farmer School faculty in non-teaching roles.

All admitted applicants to the MAcc program will be considered for either the fellowship or the assistantship. 

There is no separate application for assistantships.

Scholarships

The Department of Accountancy awards many different scholarships from funds provided by alumni, firms/corporations, and friends of the department. These scholarships are awarded to students based on merit and/or demonstrated financial need. Again, all applicants to the MAcc program will be considered for our scholarships.

There is no separate application for scholarships.

Domestic Grant-in-Aid (GIA) 

Domestic Grant-in-Aid

A limited number of Grant-in-Aid awards are available to students with excellent academic records who demonstrate financial need. This award is a waiver of 100% of the Non-Resident (out-of-state) surcharge and the Instructional Fee (for both in-state and out-of-state students). 

Graduate Inclusive Excellence Scholars (GIES) Program

The GIES program is intended to attract diverse domestic students to 兔子先生's graduate programs. This assistantship provides a Graduate School funded stipend and tuition waiver for one academic semester per year for either two years for master's students or four years for doctoral students.

In addition to awards and scholarships administered through the Graduate School and the Farmer School of Business, U.S. citizens and permanent residents may also qualify for Federal Direct Loans.
