Frequently Asked Questions
Underrepresented and Minority Students
Q: How do I apply to a graduate program?
The Graduate Opportunities & Minority Achievement Program (GO-MAP), a division of The Graduate School, is headed by
Associate Dean Juan C. Guerra, and works to promote greater access to advanced studies for graduate students of color and traditionally underrepresented groups.
Their website (http://www.grad.washington.edu/gomap/admissionsnew.htm) will be helpful in helping you navigate through the admission process.
Q: How do I arrange a campus visit? Is there a particular time of year that is best to come to the University of Washington?
Consult The Graduate Opportunities & Minority Achievement Program (GO-MAP) website for more information.
Q: Am I eligble for funding?
All awards are contingent upon the student's admission to the UW Graduate School. PLEASE NOTE: Students in the
following categories are not eligible for GO-MAP support:
- Students who hold temporary or student visas (F-1, J-1);
- are enrolled in professional degree programs (Law, Medicine, Dentistry);
- are enrolled in or register for self-sustaining/fee-based programs and credits (i.e., Evening Degree programs, Extension programs, etc).
If you are unsure of your status, please check with your prospective degree program. Students in the above categories are still eligible for teaching assistantships and research assistantships; please contact your prospective department for more information about being considered. Students in the above categories also are still eligible--and encouraged--to participate in GO-MAP's lectures, events, workshops, etc.
Q: What types of funding are available to me?
Financial aid may be a critical factor determining how you will finance your education.
There are many forms of financial support you may be eligible for as a graduate student.
GO-MAP encourages you to begin your search early, and to seek all possible funding options.
Check GO-MAP's guide to financial support for more information. |
