Each year the Graduate School awards a limited number of tuition awards to new and continuing graduate students who have assistantships. Students must be nominated by their Graduate Program Coordinator to be considered for these awards. Because these are very competitive tuition awards, not every eligible student may be enrolled.

Doctoral Students
The Graduate Assistant Support Plan (GASP) is a highly competitive multi-year support package used to attract and retain top quality doctoral students to UNC Charlotte. Students enrolled in this plan are eligible to receive full payment of in-state tuition, non-resident tuition (if required), and health insurance. To be eligible a student must be a doctoral student who holds a graduate assistantship or appropriate fellowship of at least $6,000 for the academic year ($8,000 for the calendar year) and must be enrolled full-time (at least 9 credit hours) for each term of support.

Master's Students
Funding for master's students is very limited. Nominations for master's level funding are submitted to the Graduate School by the student's Graduate Program Coordinator.
