Financial Aid and Other Funding
Students in the CIPCT program can apply for various forms of financial aid to help cover their educational costs, including federal financial aid, scholarships and loans.

Graduate Student Funding
The Graduate School’s Office of Fellowships & Awards is a resource for students seeking information about fellowships, awards and assistantships. The Graduate Funding Information Service assists UW graduate students in their search for funding opportunities for graduate school-related expenses. GFIS representatives host workshops, post funding announcements and meet one-on-one with students.
