Graduate Minority Assistantship Program (GMAP)

Through your academic program of study, GMAP offers financial assistance to US citizens who are members of ethnic groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education. GMAP is among the university's most widely-applied financial programs for graduate students.

Funding for your graduate study can come from several sources. GMAP is one funding source for underrepresented graduate students.

  • Member of one of the following ethnic groups: African American, American Indian, Latino
  • Admitted into a degree-seeking Masters or Ph.D. program as full or provisional. Students admitted on restricted are ineligible.
