Funding Opportunities
All applicants are considered for University Fellowships and TAships if they submit a complete application postmarked by December 15th.
Graduate school diversity recruitment fellowships are intended help
promote a diverse graduate student body at The University of Texas at
Austin. This competitive fellowship program is for incoming students
and is open to anyone applying to a master's or doctoral program at The
University of Texas at Austin. You may review the Diversity Recruitment Fellowships and alert us if you would qualify as a nominee.
Some of our students receive Teaching Assistantships in departments
through out the College of Liberal Arts. When additional positions
become available, we notify students and they submit a resume to the
faculty member and arrange a meeting/interview. One advantage of the
Center for Women's and Gender Studies is that we are an
interdisciplinary-program, with faculty in many departments across the
University. This allows our students the opportunity to work with
different faculty and students, as well as diversifies their studies.
Competitive students who are out-of-state may be awarded in-state
tuition in the form of a scholarship. Students will also be eligible
to apply for Continuing Fellowships at the end of their fall semester
for the following year.
For more information on funding or fellowships, please visit the Office
of Graduate Studies’ funding resources web site. This excellent resource lists
awards eligibility requirements, deadlines, and the amount of funding.
Be sure to check out the different categories – many of these awards
that are not department specific. Again, please let us know if we can
nominate you for any of these awards!
In addition to fellowships, grants and loans are also available through
the Office of Student Financial Services In order to qualify for Federal Financial Aid, please visit

Most of our international students have had external fellowships from outside organizations such as the Ford Foundation and Fulbright Foundation.
