Texas A&M University at Galveston supports its graduate students with a wide array of financial resources. Most of our current students take advantage of multiple funding sources to help cover their school expenses. Students often receive support from a combination of assistantships, fellowships, scholarships, and financial aid.
Four different types of graduate assistantships are available for TAMUG graduate students: research, teaching, non-teaching, and lecturer assistantships. These paid positions
Applications for assistantships are made via the academic department. Any inquiries should be directed toward the department of interest.
* Full-time enrollment status is defined as enrolled in 9 semester credit hours (SCH) per fall or spring semester and 6 SCH in summer. Lecturer assistantships are not required to be enrolled full-time.
Graduate Student Awards can help master’s thesis and doctoral students fund the cost of their education. Many types of fellowships are available for TAMUG and TAMU students at the Galveston Campus.
Many scholarships and grants are available for TAMUG graduate students. These opportunities can help cover school, travel, and other related expenses. All competitive, TAMUG-awarded scholarships of $1,000 or greater per academic year may also allow students to pay tuition at the in-state rate.
A student’s financial aid eligibility is determined each year by their completed FAFSA application. For further information regarding financial aid and the FAFSA application, please visit the Financial Aid Office at TAMUG.
