Funding and Tuition

Currently all of our graduate students have funding in the form of tuition waivers and/or teaching assistantships. However, at this time we can't guarantee funding. Although funding is available through assistantships with faculty in various UIC departments with whom students work, assistantships are based on project need.

The UIC graduate college assists students in finding, preparing, and submitting applications for internal and external funding. The Graduate College Financial Aide Office is a good resource for students. Although the office assists only enrolled students in applying for both internal and external funding, you might find their website useful as you try to determine what your options might be should you apply and be accepted to a UIC program.

Tuition and fees are set by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. This information is available from the Office of Admissions and Records website.
