Many forms of support are granted solely on the basis of merit; others are granted on the basis of financial need, a combination of merit and need, or on other factors. Some information on grants and fellowships is available on-line.

Information on various financial aid resources is also available, usually in hard copy, from the GSO and individual academic departments.
