It helps to know a few of the details before you determine your odds of being awarded scholarships for graduate school. Like undergraduate degrees, the types of scholarships available will depend upon your area of study.

 * University of Tulsa graduate scholarships are basically the same as scholarships for undergraduate degrees. They may or may not be based upon financial aid and most generally have a minimum GPA requirement. In addition, scholarships normally only cover the cost of tuition.

It is a good way to boost your resume while not worrying about making money outside of your intended profession. Typically, fellowships will cover the cost of tuition, provide the student with a stipend, and cover the cost of health insurance. A minimum stipend amount which graduate students receive at TU is $12,121 for the nine-month academic year.
