Financial Aid

University of Alabama Women's Studies is one of the few programs in the U.S. with a permanent number of graduate assistantships, which we award to qualified students on a competitive basis. Several universities have graduate programs in women's studies, but few have full-time assistantships in women's studies; our graduate assistants teach Introduction to Women's Studies or they perform research with a faculty member. If you plan to apply for an assistantship or financial aid, your application should be filed by February 15. Currently, assistantships pay $9,207.00 for the academic year, and they include a tuition scholarship for fall and spring sessions, doubling the value of the award.
