Financial AidEach year the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication has a limited number of fellowships and assistantships that it offers to its top applicants. These highly competitive awards are given for an academic year and may be renewed for one additional semester. The fellowship covers all tuition and fees and includes a $20,000 annual stipend. Students awarded fellowships do not have any teaching or research obligations. Graduate assistants work 10 hours per week and provide either research or classroom support for faculty members. Students awarded assistantships are charged the in-state rate for tuition and receive a 50 percent remission of that tuition. Assistants also receive an annual stipend of approximately $12,000. To be eligible for either a fellowship or an assistantship, a student must be enrolled in at least 9 credit hours of Cronkite School courses each semester. Students may apply for assistantships by submitting the application form found at http://www.asu.edu/graduate/forms/. The Phoenix Press Box Association Endowment Scholarship is awarded to a graduate student each year. Graduate students may apply for additional scholarships that are open to all Cronkite School students. The scholarship application is available at http://cronkite/asu.edu/undergrad/scholarships.php after Dec. 1.
