Financial Assistance
The University has a number of financial programs, scholarships and awards for the benefit of our students, see
http://www.sfa.umkc.edu/site for opportunities available to all UMKC students. Opportunities specifically for undergraduate SCE students include a number of scholarships (see the section below). The following are available to first-time degree applicants to UMKC:
- The Chancellor's Nonresident Award (CNR) is available to new SCE domestic students who must pay non-resident tuition.
- The Dean's International Award for Computing and Engineering (DICE) is available to new SCE international students.
Both CNR and DICE awards are decided at the same time that the admission decision is made and no specific application form is required. The CNR and DICE are competitive awards and awarded only to the best qualified applicants. The amount of the CNR award is the Nonresident Fee Differential (up to 9 hours per semester for graduate students, 12 hours for undergraduate students), and the amount of the DICE award is maximally 85% of the Nonresident Fee Differential, depending on the student's qualification. Both the CNR and DICE are renewable if minimum grade-point averages are maintained of 3.00 for undergraduates and 3.50 for graduate students.
Each department has also a number of graduate (research and teaching) assistantships available. Please read the pertinent information in the graduate catalog.
