A variety of funding sources may be available to support full-time and research assistantships and tuition scholarships for students admitted to CNSE. These include:

• Albany Valve & Fitting Company Graduate Fellowship
• Faculty sponsorship via use of external grant funding secured by CNSE faculty
• International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Fellowship Program for Students Traditionally Underrepresented in the Science and Engineering
• John J. Sullivan Graduate Fellowship Program
• M+W Zander Minority and Women Graduate Research Fellowship

To be considered for financial support for graduate study at CNSE, applications should complete the "University at Albany Graduate Assistantship/Fellowship Application for the Office of Graduate Admissions" and submit it with their applications for admission. All application forms can be downloaded from the Graduate Admissions website.

To ensure full consideration for financial support, your application for admission into a CNSE graduate program should be received by February 1 for Fall admission and December 1 for Spring admission. Applications received after these dates will be reviewed on an individual basis. 

The research and academic obligations for any funded CNSE Ph.D. and M.S. students (i.e., students who are funded by government, industrial or private fellowships, scholarships, research assistantships through sponsored research projects, etc.) must be related directly to their research projects or to the development of the critical research skill set necessary to carry out their research project.
