Multi-year funding opportunities are available to qualified Ph.D. applicants. The Computer Science and Engineering Department together with the Graduate Division offers fellowship packages that may include stipends, partial or full payment of fees and tuition, and employment as a Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) and/or Teaching Assistant (TA). Fellowship packages can provide funding from one to five years with the possibility of extension. Extension is dependent on the student's performance and PI's grant fund availability.

Other awards are also available exclusively to U.S. citizens and permanent resident Ph.D. applicants.
