Financial Aid

The Office of Student Financial Aid administers several federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs available to graduate students at UNC Charlotte who complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA helps US Citizens and eligible non-citizens gain access to gift aid (repayment not required) such as grants, or self-help aid (direct repayment or service required), like loans and Federal Work Study awards. For assistance with the FAFSA, or your financial aid search, please visit the Office of Student Financial Aid in Reese 122, or visit their website at finaid.charlotte.edu.

Graduate Assistantship

Each semester the Data Science Initiative awards a limited number of assistantships to support students enrolled in the DSBA and Health Informatics programs. Only students enrolled in a DSI graduate program are eligible to apply for DSI funded assistantships. Graduate teaching assistants are assigned to one or more faculty members to support specific classes or research projects.

FellowShips and Awards

Each spring the Graduate School administers fellowships available only to outstanding UNC Charlotte graduate students. Awards begin in the upcoming academic year. Offered through the Graduate School, funds are available to support program specific research or scholarship (e.g., thesis or dissertation research but not a class project).
