The Civil, Engineering, Construction, & Environmental Engineering department offers financial aid in the form of Teaching and Research Assistantships (TA’s and RA’s) to highly qualified applicants. If you are interested in seeking aid through the department, your preferences should be listed when applying. We do not offer aid to MCE or MENE students (on-campus or distance).
Admission decisions are typically made first, and then financial aid decisions later. If you have requested financial aid we will send you an email if a financial aid offer is being made.
