Financial Aid Information

The Erdman Center, with assistance from its industrial partners, provides its students with project assistantships on a competitive basis for a limited time (usually 2 semesters). A project assistantship, for which the student works for the Center, a company or a professor 10-13 hours per week, pays a monthly stipend and waives in-state and out-of-state graduate student tuition. In addition, an assistantship provides comprehensive health care for the student and his/her family.

The Erdman Center also helps students getting fellowships and teaching assistantships for introductory courses in operations management and information systems.

The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management provides 2-year fellowships for “African Americans, Hispanic Americans, or Native Americans and U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents of other races and ethnicities.” Applications for both fellowship and school go through the Consortium and must be submitted before January 15. For details, see the Consortium.
