Although the MIP program does not have funding for departmental assistantships, we are able to nominate our best applicants for financial awards through the Graduate School.   

All admitted applicants are automatically considered for a Graduate School Assistantship.  These assistantships carry a full tuition waiver, a monthly stipend, and a carry a weekly work requirement.  For more information on Graduate School Assistantships, please see this page.  Please note that in order to be considered for the Graduate School Assistantship, you must have submitted your online application through the Graduate School website no later than January 1, and your application must be complete by February 1.

Admitted applicants are not, however, automatically considered for other awards offered through the Graduate School.  Click here to see a list of the assistantships, fellowships, scholarships and grants available through the Graduate School.  If you see one that may apply to your situation and have further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the MIP graduate advisor, Kathryn Johnson, at kathrynj@uga.edu or the MIP graduate coordinator, Dr. Jeffrey Berejikian, at jberejik@uga.edu. 

 The program may also be able to nominate students for the Graduate School’s Regents Out-of-State tuition waiver, which waives the out-of-state portion of a student’s tuition.  Out-of-state applicants are automatically considered for these waivers when they apply to the program.
