The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department offers its graduate students financial aid in the form of fellowships, graduate student instructor (GSI) positions, and graduate student research assistantships (GSRA).   All applicants to the department are automatically considered for financial aid.    EECS awards the majority of its fellowships to incoming students.   GSI and RA positions are typically filled by continuing students.

Additionally, students are encouraged to apply for EXTERNAL FELLOWSHIPS as means of increasing their support and strengthening their resumes.

FELLOWSHIPS:
EECS Fellowships are awarded based on merit with the majority of these awards given to incoming graduate students.   No application beyond Rackham's Application for Admission is required.   Fellowships provide tuition and fees, monthly stipend for living expenses, and university health care coverage.   Recipients are required to identify an area of research and begin work with a faculty member within the first year of study.

GRADUATE STUDENT INSTRUCTOR (GSI) AND GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH ASSISTANT (GSRA)
GSI and GSRA positions are filled by both incoming and current graduate students, with the positions primarily being filled by students already in the program.    Incoming students are offered GSI and GSRA positions based on their application materials.   No additional form is needed.   Current students wishing a GSRA position contact faculty directly.   Current students desiring a GSI position must take part in the departmental application process which takes place two times during the academic year.   GSIs and GSRAs are usually expected to work 16 to 20 hours a week, receiving full tuition and fees, monthly stipend, and university health care coverage.
