Financial Assistance
Graduate Tuition Waivers
The Creative Technologies program awards a limited number of graduate tuition waivers on a competitive basis to incoming students who show promise for success and who have not received an assistantship or other awards funding tuition costs. Students are considered for these scholarships when their portfolios are reviewed for admission to the Creative Technologies program. These tuition waivers are awarded upon recommendation of the faculty and approval by the Graduate Review and Portfolio Committee, and are contingent upon funding from the University.
