Financial Aid
The MEngM is an intense professional degree program that requires full time effort during all 12 months. As a result, Teaching or Research Assistantships cannot be used to support this degree. However, independent Fellowships (e.g. Fulbright or other external foundations) can be applied. In addition, all students without fellowship will be eligible for a $10,000 scholarship to be awarded at the start of their full-time group project work. Other types of financial aid, loans and student employment can be found at the Graduate Student Financial Aid Office.
