Scholarships! Here are some available funding options common in the College of Geosciences. For more information, contact Oceanography Academic Advisors.

Teaching Assistantships
Departments offer numerous teaching opportunities. Teaching is typically in undergraduate laboratory courses, ranging from 10 to 30 students. The availability of these assistantships depends on the semester courses offerings for the Department. For more information, contact Oceanography Academic Advisors.

Research Assistantships
Many professors provide students with research assistantships working on a variety of projects within Departments. This assistantship may or may not be directly related to your graduate work, but another option for those not wishing to teach. If there is a faculty member with whom you are particularly interested in working, contact him or her.

Federal - Supported Grants or Fellowships
These types of funds depend on the money available and provided by various federal agencies (i.e. NOAA, NSF). Not all types of proposals fall under research scientists, but can include graduate students new in their programs. Oceanography Academic Advisors usually send announcements of these in the summer.

University Scholarships or Fellowships
The Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) is another funding resource. Many scholarships or fellowships have a range of qualifications and may or may not be affiliated through your Department.

Non-Teaching Graduate Assistantship (GANT)
Assistantships are also available within multiple University branches, such as the Study Abroad Office or Association of Former Students. These are not typically available through your Department, but require you to contact the particular branch of interest. Another resource for such opportunities is AggieSearch, which continually posts work opportunities throughout the campus.
