About the Program
The Graduate Tuition Scholarship (GTS) is designed to support eligible graduate students in the College of Health, Education, and Human Services (CHEH) as they pursue their studies. Awards are based on meeting eligibility requirements and the availability of funding.
Eligibility
Funding is limited, and available funds determine awards each semester. To qualify for a GTS award, candidates must meet the following criteria at the time applications are reviewed:
- Must be enrolled full-time (at least six credit hours per semester) in required courses as outlined in their approved program of study.
- Have regular admission status in a CHEH graduate program (conditional or probationary students are ineligible).
- Non-degree applicants, licensure, endorsement, and certificate applicants are not eligible for GTS awards.
- Maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA.
- Receive no other forms of institutional aid. GTS awards cannot be combined with any other form of institutional aid, including but not limited to graduate assistantships, other Wright State scholarships (e.g., WPAFB Scholarship), or the Wright State employee tuition remission benefit.
Length of Eligibility
Students are eligible for support for up to three semesters (including summer), with the potential to reapply for an additional three semesters (six semesters total) if funding permits. The summer tuition award covers all summer session terms (Summer A, B, & C). If a candidate uses the entire award in an early session (Summer A), no additional funding will be available for later summer sessions (such as Summer B & C). Once awards have been made, the GTS award will be applied by Financial Aid.
*Awards are not guaranteed and may vary based on funding and predetermined award levels.
Application Requirements
To apply, candidates must submit a completed GTS request form, linked below, by the deadline. The application includes:
- Cumulative GPA
- Statement of Request: Please explain in 2-4 sentences how GTS funds would support you in progressing through your program of study.
- Name and email of professional reference (e.g., Wright State faculty, K-12 faculty, or university chair/dean).
Deadlines
- Summer Semester (A, B, & C): March 1
- Fall Semester: March 1
- Spring Semester: November 15
Late applications may be considered after initial awards are made and are based on availability of remaining funds.
Renewals
Renewal applications are evaluated based on funding and eligibility status. Students must submit a request form for the following academic year (Summer, Fall, Spring) by March 1. Renewals do not require an additional reference.
