All admitted students are considered for any available fellowships and/or assistantships. Fellowships and research assistantships, including monthly stipends, tuition and fees, and health insurance benefits, are provided to qualified candidates.

Obtaining Financial Support
Once admitted, the Graduate Admissions Committee considers departmental fellowships on scholarly achievements or other criteria such as country of origin. This is an automatic process — please do not contact the Graduate Office regarding possible fellowships.

As a next step, admitted applications are automatically forwarded to all faculty in the department. The faculty reviews each application to identify highly qualified individuals that they may want to hire for research assistantships or possible teaching assistantships. Each faculty member makes their own determinations based on candidate qualifications and their available financial resources and projects.

Fulbright Scholarships
UT Austin welcomes Fulbright scholars, and International students applying to the program should consider applying for Fulbright scholarships. Note that whether or not this opportunity exists depends on the country of origin, and the Fulbright application process is not managed by UT Austin. Learn more about Fulbright opportunities.
