Tuition Remissions/Waivers, Fellowships, and Research Assistantships

Graduate students are eligible to apply for several types of assistance available through UW-Milwaukee. To locate information about Graduate Fellowships or Teaching, Research and Project Assistantships, please contact the Graduate School Graduate School Assistantships.

Tuition remission/waivers affect the need-based aid in your package. If you are receiving a tuition remission/waiver, fellowship, or research assistantship from the university, and it does not appear on your PAWS financial aid account, please notify our office immediately.

It is important that the department giving you the tuition remission gives the remission/waiver information to the Bursar's Office prior to the disbursement of your aid. If your aid is disbursed prior to the remission/waiver being processed, your tuition will be deducted from your aid. You will then have to wait for a tuition refund once the remission/waiver has been processed.

Please note that graduate students are automatically assigned a budget using in-state tuition. If you are non-resident and not receiving a remission, please notify our office. Your financial aid eligibility can be reviewed.
