Financial support for students in the MS in Remote Sensing & Geospatial Sciences program is allotted based on need and merit, and on a first-come basis. Financial assistance does not require a separate application and is decided as completed applications are received. Partial tuition scholarships may be offered, and/or some students are invited to serve as teaching assistants for undergraduate courses, at a stipend of $6,000 per semester. (Teaching assistants lead labs and discussion sections.)
Occasionally, faculty hire Master’s students to serve as research assistants, paid on an hourly basis; such opportunities depend on matching students’ skills with faculty needs and are usually determined once a student has begun coursework.
