Financial Aid

The CIS program has limited financial resources under its direct control. Most of its resources, including financial aid for students, are derived from the four participting programs.

Presently one graduate assistantship, assigned to assisting the chair in running the program, is allocated directly to CIS. A graduate assistantship includes a tuition waiver and health benefits as well as a stipend. Each year we also receive a moderate amount of tuition scholarship funds. These are applicable only to tuition costs.

Students may also be considered for teaching or research assistantships in one of the four participating programs. The availability of research assistantships varies depending on the needs of grants received by faculty. In general, the best way to be considered for such positions is to begin the program under other funding and then become involved in the research of the faculty.

UH Teaching, Graduate Assistantships

Many graduate students locate TA or GA opportunities in other departments on campus. Some include tuition waivers, others are salary only. Most hire over the summer before fall classes begin. Openings for the UH system are posted at http://workatuh.hawaii.edu/
