All graduate students accepted into the C.T. Bauer College of Business are eligible to apply for Bauer College scholarships. In 2008-2009, approximately 300 Bauer College students were awarded over $800,000 in scholarships. Bauer College scholarships range from $250 to $5,000, and are competitively awarded by the Bauer College Scholarship Committee. All scholarships are based on academic merit and some have a financial need component. Almost all doctoral students receive fellowships and there is some scholarship support available to them, as well.
The specific criteria for each scholarship are established by the scholarship donors and the college. Applicants need to complete only one on-line Bauer College Scholarship Application form to be considered for all Bauer College scholarships for which they qualify. Students are encouraged to apply as soon as they have been admitted to a Bauer graduate program since scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis and over time. As the beginning of the semester approaches, there are fewer scholarships available.

Financial Aid
Financial aid is available to citizens and eligible non-citizens who are enrolled in at least 6 hours. All applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for scholarships and other financial aid based on financial need. Bauer College students interested in scholarships from the Bauer College must also complete the Bauer College online Scholarship Application.
State and federal grants are available through programs administered by the University of Houston Student Financial Aid Office. These are very limited and are need based. Graduate students primarily receive loans to cover their costs. Federal loans consist of the Stafford Loan (subsidized and/or unsubsidized). Stafford subsidized loans are loans that are need based, and the interest on them is paid by the government while the student is enrolled in school. An unsubsidized loan begins accruing interest immediately after disbursement and is limited to $20,500/year (a maximum of $8500 of this amount is subsidized). Repayment for these loans begins 6 months after graduation or if the student drops below half-time enrollment. There are other loans available to students if these loans are not sufficient to cover cost of attendance, which can be discussed with a financial aid advisor.
The Bauer College of Business houses a financial aid advisor to serve its graduate students, located in the Bauer Graduate and Professional Programs Office, 320 Melcher Hall or via email at drpineda@uh.edu. |
