Funding and Financial Aid
The Geology Department and the University of Cincinnati provide financial support on an academic-year basis for many graduate students in the form of assistantships, tuition scholarships, endowed fellowships, and outside grants and contracts. Financial support is limited to a maximum of two years for MS students and four years (beyond the MS) for PhD students; support beyond the first year is contingent upon evidence of satisfactory progress toward completion of degree requirements. All students receiving financial aid must be full-time, i.e., registered for a minimum of 12 graduate credits each quarter during the academic year.
