FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid for graduate students is available from a number of sources at the University of Florida.
Many departments and colleges within UF offer scholarships, assistantships and fellowships to qualified students pursuing master's degrees and doctoral degrees. Contact your specific graduate program to find out what financial aid opportunities are available at the department and college level, and what is required to qualify for them.
The Graduate School Fellowships:
Graduate School fellowships are named in honor of Dr. Linton E. Grinter, who was Dean of the Graduate School, 1952-1969. Each year $785,000 is awarded to students in the form of Grinter Fellowships.
The intent of the Grinter Fellowship is to facilitate the recruitment of truly exceptional graduate students to the University of Florida. Currently enrolled UF graduate students are not eligible, except in the particular case in which they will be entering a PhD (or other terminal degree) program for the first time.
Ordinarily, the Grinter is limited to PhD students.
Exceptions are made for those areas in the University that have a terminal degree different from the PhD (e.g. Master of Fine Arts, Architecture, Building Construction, and Landscape Architecture). Grinter Fellowships are not assistantships. No duties may be required of the student (except those duties associated with an assistantship held concurrently).
Grinter Fellowship stipends are normally in the $2,000-$4,000 range. Continuation of the Grinter beyond the first year (up to a total of three years) is contingent upon satisfactory student progress. An annual report is made to the Graduate School in this regard for each student.
Note: Students enrolled in the Colleges of Engineering and Law are not eligible for Grinter Fellowships.
Please be sure to follow the links to the granting organization's web page for the most current details, as requirements and deadlines are subject to change.
