Graduate Funding Policy

Tuition Policy Statement Effective July 1 2010


Policy Statement for Graduate Tuition Scholarships for Research, Teaching, and Graduate Assistants and Fellows

The University of Delaware may provide tuition scholarships to full-time graduate students who are awarded stipends for an entire semester/academic year as a research, teaching, or graduate assistant or fellow. These scholarships are generally available in graduate programs that admit students with funding, regardless of funding source; details of commitment and duration are provided in offer letters. Graduate departments and programs select the recipients of these awards, where available, based on the students’ qualifications.   The stipulations of the tuition scholarship policy are:

●The stipend must be at least equivalent to the university minimum graduate stipend ( $16,500 for 2012-2013).  Students on sustaining status qualify for a scholarship in the amount of the sustaining fee;

●Tuition scholarships may be awarded for winter session under this policy;

●Should a student leave the University after the free drop/add period of the semester of an appointment, the stipend will be immediately terminated. The tuition scholarship originally accompanying the stipend will become the responsibility of the student unless an appeal is presented in writing and approved by the Office of Graduate and Professional Education. If the appeal is approved, the tuition scholarship will continue to be applied to the student's account and will not be available to be awarded to another student in that semester;

●Students who receive 100% of the minimum stipend and a 100% tuition scholarship may not hold additional employment on or off campus. As with any professional appointment, the amount of service may vary from week to week, but the average is usually expected to be no more than 20 hours of service per week for the U.D. minimum stipend. Dean's permission is required for any exception to this "no other employment policy" and APPROVAL BY THE DEAN must be forwarded to the Office of Graduate and Professional Education..

●The recipients of these awards are eligible for coverage by the University’s Accident and Sickness Insurance Blue Plan at a significantly reduced cost.
