Internal Award Opportunities

Graduate Student Scholarships

Graduate Student Scholarships (GSS) are awarded by the Department without specific application on the part of the student.  The normal criterion is that of "academic merit", based usually on superior performance in graduate courses, although other factors may also be taken into consideration in order to ensure that all continuing students are supported.
