Criminal Justice

Scholarship Qualifications and Selection Criteria

The Criminal Justice program is supported by several privately funded scholarships.  Awards for the coming academic year are made, usually by the end of April each year. Depending upon the particular award, upon the amount of the award, and other factors, the student may choose the semester or semesters in which the awards will be distributed within the academic year to which the award applies. Most awards are renewable for up to three years, but renewal is not automatic. Recipients must re-apply each year and must meet both initial qualifications and continuing qualifications for each award period.

List of Scholarships

Graduate Assistantships
& Graduate Work-Study

Graduate assistantships are available for both teaching and research positions. They are competitive and based upon qualifications of individual students for the positions that are available at the time. The graduate assistantship stipend is currently $6,000 and the work-study stipend is slightly more than $4,400 for the 9-month academic year. Graduate assistantships also result in waiver of tuition and fees; work-study does not (though it does result in waiver of out-of-state tuition). Applications may be submitted at any time, but the normal funding cycle results in awards being made in March or April for the coming academic year. Those interested in applying should obtain an application from the Graduate School website.
