Tuition Scholarships

Domestic Students

A limited number of tuition scholarships are awarded each semester to graduate students on the basis of scholarship. The award is for remission of tuition; fees must be paid. Students may receive a tuition scholarship for a maximum of three semesters during their enrollment in the University.

To be eligible the student must be admitted to the Graduate School and to a department, and the student may not hold another University appointment, which provides a tuition scholarship (i.e. graduate assistantship, fellowship). Tuition scholarship recipients must enroll for a minimum of 9 graduate credit hours for fall and spring semesters (3 graduate credit hours in summer).

Application forms are available by clicking the link at the top of this page, in the Graduate School office or on our forms web site at http://www.siu.edu/gradschl/forms.htm. Students should submit application forms at least one full semester preceding the semester for which the tuition scholarship is requested. Deadline dates are as follows: April 15 for summer session, July 15 for fall semester, and November 15 for spring semester.

International Students

A limited number of tuition waivers are available to international students who have completed at least one full year at SIUC. These awards are granted on a competitive basis, and the limited number means that many qualified students are unable to secure them. Applications are generally available at the end of each spring semester at International Students & Scholars, Northwest Annex, Wing B, Room 133. Guidelines are provided with the applications.
