Tuition Support

The Graduate School provides full tuition support for the majority of doctoral students who hold an eligible graduate assistantship via the Graduate Assistant Support Program (GASP). Additionally, a small number of exemplary master's students obtain one or two years of (partial) tuition grants. 

FAQ: How do I apply for tuition support from the Graduate school?

Answer:  Apply to attend a graduate program at UNC Charlotte.  If offered admission, the Graduate Program Director may either 1) provide funding support that includes tuition support for you, and/or 2) nominate you for tuition support from the Graduate School.
