Tuition Support

The Graduate School provides full tuition support for the majority of doctoral students who hold an eligible graduate assistantship via the Graduate Assistant Support Program (GASP). Additionally, a small number of exemplary master's students obtain one or two years of (partial) tuition grants. 

Tuition Support Process

  1. You will apply to UNC Charlotte graduate program of your choosing.
  2. The Graduate Program Director (GPD) recommends the applicant for admission to the Graduate School and then the Graduate School extends an offer of admission.
  3. The Graduate Program Director (GPD) recommends students for funding to the Graduate School and then the Graduate School extends an offer of funding support.
  4. Students with offers of admission/funding must accept their awards by April 15th in alignment with the April 15 Resolution ("National Signing Day")
  5. The Graduate School deposits the tuition award on the student's University account. If the offer is declined, the funds are removed.
  6. The tuition funds will appear in your student account once you register for classes and charges are assessed by the Office of Student Accounts.

UNC Charlotte is a participant in the April 15 Resolution ("National Signing Day"). The Graduate School will not remove any offers of funding before April 15th. Please accept your offers of funding before April 16th. After that date, UNC Charlotte will remove unaccepted offers and provide them to other students.
