A number of scholarships are available for qualifying incoming graduate students who enroll in degree programs. Some of these are awarded by the Williams Graduate School based on a competitive review process, while other awards are made by individual programs and departments. Processes and deadlines vary by scholarship, so please visit the Graduate School site for more information.
Outside Scholarships
Each year students bring about $4.9 million in scholarships from outside organizations with them to Appalachian. These outside scholarships can make a big difference to a student's educational budget as they pay for college. All students are strongly encouraged to apply.
