IMPORTANT: The Sustainable Building Systems Concentration is part of the Department of Environmental Conservation Graduate Program. Therefore, select “Environmental Conservation” as grad program and “Sustainable Building Systems” as concentration in your application. Also, if you are applying for the professional Master’s program, mention that explicitly in the application.
Do you need a fee waiver?
Those are available for qualifying applicants via the Graduate School as well as the ECo department.
Graduate Financial Assistance Opportunities
Funding opportunities can be found at the Financial Aid Services website, especially the Graduate Financial Aid page. Information on waivers and tuition credits can be found on the Bursar’s office site and on the Graduate School website.
In general terms: Financial assistance may be provided to graduate students through teaching or research assistantships, University scholarships or fellowships, or hourly wages. Tuition and most fees are waived during semesters in which at least a one-quarter-time assistantship or fellowship is awarded. The same rules regarding tuition waivers apply to stipends earned outside of the University, if the internship is directly related to the student’s graduate program. Assistantships are often available through individual faculty members who have grant-supported research or who have University funding for teaching assistants for their undergraduate classes. The Graduate School awards a small number of University fellowships to applicants (including those from outside the U.S.) with exceptionally strong records.
