Have Forms of Primary Financial Support for S&E Graduate Students Changed During the Past Two Decades - The nation's research universities have traditionally coupled advanced education with research—in the process generating new knowledge as well as training scientific and engineering talent. This close coupling is reflected in the variety of forms in which financial support is provided to science and engineering (S&E) graduate students. Concerns have been raised about the role of different types of financial support modes in preparing science and engineering students for employment and about the appropriate mix of support.[1] It would therefore be useful to examine how forms of support for S&E graduate students have changed during the past two decades.

Financial Assistance and Tuition Scholarships - On application for admission to graduate studies each student who so indicates is considered for financial aid. There are three main forms of financial support: Teaching or Graduate Assistantships, provided by state funds for lines allotted to the department, Research Assistantships provided by research grants held by individual faculty members, and Graduate Fellowships provided by state funds administered by the Graduate School. Potential new graduate students applying for admission are mainly eligible for Teaching Assistantships on which the decisions are made by the Graduate Studies Committee of the department.
Financial Assistance - Students in need of financial assistance during their graduate study at the University of Georgia have three possible avenues for funding.

Assistantships are normally awarded on a one-third basis or higher. One-third time indicates that the student must work 13 hours per week in the awarding unit, normally their department.

For students who are assessed by the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) or by another Canadian provincial government financial aid program as requiring maximum assistance, and whose assessed need is not fully covered by government aid, the University will ensure that the full need is met. For every new and returning student, the University examines the OSAP (or other Canadian provincial government financial aid program) assessment in the Fall term and identifies all students who qualify for grants through the University of Toronto Advance Planning for Students (UTAPS) program. The University writes to students directly to notify them of their eligibility. For students in second-entry programs, including Dentistry, the additional assistance may be a mix of grant and loan.
