Unfortunately, the School of Mathematics does not offer Teaching Assistantships, Research Assistantships, Fellowships, or Scholarships for MFM or FQF students.

There are two options for financial aid for MFM students. These do not apply to students in the FQF program.

1.  The MFM program offers two diversity fellowships. Fellowship cycle is open during the summer.
2. MFM graduate students can also apply for loans through the University of Minnesota using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). One application is all it takes to be considered for aid at the U of M.  Click here for more details on applying for FAFSA
